Kindergarten students at Elon Elementary recently celebrated a very happy Australia Day! 🇦🇺 Each grade level in our global schools focuses on a region in the world, with Oceania being Kindergarten's region of study. Students enjoyed participating in a range of fun, hands-on learning activities about the animals, landmarks and culture of Australia. 🐨🦘️The day featured an Aussie snack challenge where students prepared, tasted and then rated some popular snacks unique to Australia. There were many big thumbs up reviews for the lamington bites (sponge cake dipped in chocolate sauce and coconut flakes) and fairy bread (sprinkles glued onto bread with butter). The crackers dipped in vegemite received mixed reviews. 🤔 #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
