Did you know that the People’s Republic of China was founded on October 1st 1949? Taylor brought a sampling of honey garlic pork to try. Yum! She also brought a little jacket that a little Chinese boy may have worn.

Today we learned about South Africa, the most southern country on the continent of Africa. Carson shared with us a doll made out of corn stalks. It was made by a child who was sponsored by a family in Canada. It was sent to Canada over the Atlantic Ocean from Africa. 

Russia

Japan

Kyler taught us that Japan is a very small country but has a population of over 120 million people! He brought Japanese coins for us to see called Yen that his dad collected on his trip to Japan. We also got to enjoy a piece of sushi. For many this was their first time trying sushi. Thank you Kyler!
