This week in Lower school, students shared time with fourth graders visiting from El Salvador. A delegation of six fourth grade students from El Colegio Maya de El Salvador are staying with Shorecrest host families for two weeks.
The young visitors made a presentation about their country and danced traditional dances while wearing their traditional costumes. (View a clip of their dance on our Facebook page.) They gave presentations in Spanish and the Shorecrest students were eager to understand everything. The Salvadorian students asked some questions about their presentations, and the Shorecrest students were able to answer the quizzes. Everyone enjoyed sharing about each others' culture, trying games from each country, and practicing their foreign language skills together.
The students from El Salvador also visited Junior Kindergarten to augment their global studies unit.
