Studying South America
Students in Mrs. Sharrar’s fifth and sixth grade social studies classes at West Forest Elementary were able to try some South American foods after finishing a unit on countries south of the border. They had each chosen a country on which to focus, researched a famous person from there, made a poster as a visual aid and written a paper. Then, they sampled mate tea, tamales, empanadas and panettone bread. Shown in this picture are (left to right): Mrs. Leann Sharrar, Angelo Gigliotti, Rico Martinez, Garrett O’Connor and Kierra Vaughn.
