Country Research

Check out our awesome wall map! Remember those country research projects we did? Well a lot of them are posted on the wall outside our classroom. The large posters have holes in them so you can literally put your face into a scene from another country. The paper bag vests are covered with facts about countries and the typed reports above our country's flags teach you about something we researched more closely. Below you can read some of our research reports and check out the wall more closely. Enjoy!

Indian Jewelry 

by Suguy H.

Indian women wear lots of jewelry. They wear a nath. Nath means nose ring. Bangles or chudi are bracelets. A shringar patti is jewelry they wear on their head. It’s gold and it’s shaped like a necklace. Bichhua means toe ring. Toe ring is something they wear on their feet. A waist band or kamarband is some kind of jewelry that holds the dress. The jewelry is about their culture. It is not about Henna. They wear it for their wedding days. The jewelry is the most important part.

 

 Jamaican Blue Coffee 

by Jameson C.

Blue Coffee is famous in Jamaica because it grows on Blue Mountain and because it has mild flavor. In Jamaica they brew their coffee with a pot and a measuring spoon. Blue Coffee is one of the most expensive and famous coffees in the world. Japan buys 80% of the Blue Mountain Coffee. There is other mountains in Jamaica that make coffee. Some people are calling it Blue Coffee but it is not good as Blue Mountain Coffee. A pound of Blue Coffee can cost up to $13.95 to $399. If you buy Blue Coffee for $15.95 it is not real Blue Coffee. I think Blue Coffee will be gross because I can’t even drink my mom’s coffee.

Egypt Mummies 

by Damario C.

You should go to Egypt to see mummies. For a long time Egypt mummified their kings called pharaohs. To mummify they put them in canopic jars. A canopic jar protects or guards the organs.  Each jar was named after a god.  Hapi protected the lungs.  Duamutef guards the stomach.  Qebebsenuef held the intestines. Imseti protected the liver. Boats are buried in the tombs to take the pharoahs to Osaris, which we call heaven. I would like to go to Egypt to see mummies.
