The students presented their “passports” and traveled throughout four different stations to learn about the US commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Thanks to the help of special parents, Mr. and Mrs. Conti and Mr. and Mrs. Bonelli along with special grandmother Mrs. Pencheff, the students experienced the food, culture and traditions of the island. Next the students learned about the music of the culture and made maracas with the help of Mrs. Waringer and Mrs. Keyser (FSA President). They then toured a museum of artifacts and information with Mrs. Keeler (Gem Teacher) and Mrs. Somers (ESL Teacher), where they “visited” and learned about the only rainforest in the US forestry system, El Yunque. It was an exciting time for all who participated. Next stop China!
