Landforms: Mountains, Volcanoes, Glaciers, Valleys and Islands        

Clothing: Today we discussed the sari and the red dot on the forehead, bindi.

Here is the slideshow we watched and the link to google translator. 

The video we watched has arabic and indian singing. I chose it for the beat :) haha, the beautiful clothing and the wonderful views of the Taj Mahal. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as the class did. 
 

The souvenir the class made is adorable and full of color! They made chalk rangoli pictures. Everyone was a great artist and did their best work!! :) Also, we ate a treat during our visit. It was yummy dried fruit. The students had mixed views on the fruit... We don't see many of you buying apricots and raisins any time soon. :)

We wanted to give a big thank you to Mrs. Jordon and Mrs. Bowman. 

Tomorrow is our last day of flying and we are EXHAUSTED!! It has been a long month for us and for the students. haha
