Last week, we studied other cultures around the world like Morocco, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guatemala. We went to Japan first in Ms. R’s room. We did origami and even though the shapes were challenging we did it! We made a cup and a box. Cool!
Let me tell you about Morocco. We interviewed Ms. A-R. We asked her wonderful questions like “How are the U.S. and Morocco different?” ”How are they the same?” ”What do you like about Morocco?” “Why do you cover your head with the scarf?” It was kind of hard when we tried to speak arabic. It’s letters are different and the way they speak is totally different.
Here are some things I learned about Morocco:
-Morocco has big cities.
-There are scorpions! Children even play with them!
-It’s flag looks like this:
-In some cities, they paint the streets and houses blue or pink to keep the bugs away.
-Most people in Morocco are Muslim, and the women were the hajab (scarf) to be polite in public.
I liked traveling around the world. I learned a lot!!!
