South Africa Country of Study Celebration SOL#16

The excitement is palpable.

Children running around.

Parents helping set-up.

Searching in a safari,

for the Big 5.

Elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhino.

Enter through Table Mountain,

Handmade musical instruments,

Walk through the mouth of a shark,

Painted sea scenes and research,

Dig for bones in the cave,

Listen to folktales being told,

Learn about myths and legends,

Wildlife, nature, sea life,

Traditional clothing, dance and food,

Tribal history and national symbols,

Education, sports and games,

God's Window and the Cooling Towers.

These are just a few things

Our students researched and created.

South Africa, Country of Study Celebration.

Parents, grandparents, and friends came.

They wandered from here to there,

The children were so proud

of all their hard work and learning.

All were eager to share.

The night was a big success.
