Wrapping Up Our Travels

At the last session of "Go Geography" the students recapped all of their travels!

Read this message about the last class from head of "Go Geography", Julia Benz.

Dear All,
At our last class, once we completed Argentina, we divided the children into three groups, each one representing one of the countries we covered during the Go Geography Fall program: Australia, Ukraine & Argentina.  The children had a friendly competition answering who remembered the most about their countries (customs, language, animals, endangered animals, food, etc).  We had so much fun!

Near the end of the class, we "returned" to South America to learn more about rain forest monkeys.  The HAMC girl scouts (Stacey Kellar's team) prepared an especially wonderful presentation about monkeys and the rain forest.  The children were divided into 4 groups and enjoyed story telling, games, coloring, and Q&A.  Each of them also received a special monkey tail!

The children snacked on organic strawberries and raisins.

At the end of the class, each child received a country-specific toy animal to take home.

Special thanks to Lorena Burga, Liz Fenton, our 8th and 6th grade assistants, Stacey Kellar, and HAMC girl scouts.   

Warm wishes,
Julia Benz
