Students at the Methodist Children’s Home Charter School held
a school-wide Multicultural Fair on Feb. 5. Both middle and high school students
collaborated to transform a classroom into a cultural adventure showing
displays, banners and flags to represent different countries.
“I really liked how this all came together. It was amazing,”
said Carmen Rojas, MCHS teacher. “I got the idea from a school where I did my
field experience in college. We picked countries from the curriculum we have
been studying.”
For the fair, students created displays about Italy,
Germany, Ethiopia, the Philippines, and France. Displays showed maps of the
country’s landmarks and examples of cultural interests such as clothing, music,
food and other customs.
Throughout the day, classes came through and were given
passport books to write down what they learned about each country.
“I hope our students will learn about tolerance and the
appreciation of other cultures,” added Rojas. “I think it is a valuable lesson
for everyone and the students did a great job.”
