International Intrigue—Banner Christian Explores German Culture

Lower School students enthusiastically dove into the learning experience.

Lower School students busily celebrated International Day in mid-October. Fun activities designed to teach about the country and culture of Germany were enjoyed by all. Each of our resource teachers set up a station with a specific focus.

  • Mrs. Trettel had students design a character from one of the German fairy tales they'd read in drama class;
  • Mrs. Culver taught about Black Forest wood carving followed by an art activity;
  • Mrs. Johnson engaged students in a game called Faules Ei (our version of ‘Duck Duck Goose');
  • Mrs. Ivill’s class members created booklets and bookmarks about The Nutcracker after reading the beloved tale in class;
  • Mr. Linares’ class produced puppets and had them annunciate counting activities in German;
  • Mr. Granell's students visited famous landmarks in Germany using Google Earth. 

The grand finale featured the Lower School students performing a song they learned in music class called Johnny Schomker.

Additionally, the group watched a video from a former missionary to Germany (see video below). They concluded the program by praying for the people of Germany.
