While talking to my class about German culture, it occurred to me that my students had many things they could share with us about different cultures. I invited the parents in to share about any other place they have lived. We were fortunate to have a couple of parents come in on short notice and share about Korea and India. This was so much fun! Korea- We learned how to use chopsticks and even got to practice with fruit chews! We saw traditional Korean dress and learned how to say a few words in Korean. India- We learned that there are 29 states in India and each has its own language! We got to see some money from India as well as other parts of the world. We also learned that there are different foods in the different parts of India based on the land. I'm sure there are many other interesting things we could learn about the cultures in our class, whether it's another country, or even another region of the US or North Carolina. I look forward to doing this again next year.
What is something unique about another place you or your parents have lived?

My parents used to live in India and it is INCREDIBLY hot there. way hotter than here, because India is near the Equator.
