3rd Grade Culture Fair

While in the 3rd grade, Alex had the opportunity to study Austria, which is where his maternal great, great grandfather was born. 

Here Alex is...

during the Cultural Parade, sporting his "lederhosen" and his report...

at his table group getting ready to share parts of his report...

sharing his report with his table group...

and sharing his favorite fact with the class...

I wish I had gotten a picture of the "Sachertorte" (chocolate cake with apricot jam and chocolate frosting!) that he helped make for their potluck luncheon.  Oh well.  He actually told me the other day that it's his  new favorite dessert!

I am so proud of all the hard work Alex put into this project.  He learned so much and developed a greater appreciation for other cultures.
