this year in GT livi has traveled to numerous places with her teacher as their travel agent. now every student in her class will have their opportunity to select a country & become an expert about it. livi choose to represent switzerland because she thinks it's fun to say, it has a "z" in it & not many people talk about it. all the students had to do the projects in the classroom, but they brought supplies from home. livi also had to look up her country at home and print pictures to bring to school to place on her poster board to help teach others about their country. they had guide to fill out to help them along the way & ideas for pictures to print out like the country's flag, a map of the country, famous citizens, popular landmarks, traditional foods, native celebrations, country's currency and any other pictures that would add interest to their presentation. so today was the 3rd grade gifted and talented countries extravaganza. parents, teachers & classmates were invited to attend the countries and cultures exhibit to learn more about fascinating places around the world by all the students acting as travel agents for their countries. livi was super excited about her country & wanted everyone to come by to ask her about it. this girl knows more about switzerland than probably the president. she even decorated her table space to draw more people in with a country table cloth & lots of sparkles. whenever anyone would walk up, livi would say "welcome to switzerland" with a huge smile & no one could walk away from her. she had a toblerone box that she was using as a pointer to show people what she was talking about on her board... how genius is that?!?! mommy & daddy were in shock watching her present, she was the most confident person they had ever seen. it was just awesome!
