Cultures Around The World: A First Grader's Journey

We had such a great time over the past couple months learning all about several different cultures.  I was able to catch some great pictures.  We learned about lots of different countries...I was only able to snap a few though.  We learned about our own culture first: USA. We also learned about Brazil, Italy, Mexico, England, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Jamaica, and a few more. Here are some pictures of some of our fun adventures!
