Asia Global Study

The children in first grade are learning about Asia as part of a Lower School wide global education study.  Some children are painting a map of Asia to show how Israel is so much smaller than the countries that surround it in the Middle East.  Other children are painting Matroyshka dolls from Russia.  Some students are doing written research, others are making Chinese fans for a dragon dance that the students will perform in an assembly in February.
