DURING 4H on Monday, November 28th, we presented our Culture

Day projects. Our topic was Spain. We were assigned certain parts to research about Spain; these included geography, education, foods, and culture. Everybody learned new things about Spain. We tried foods that are popular in Spain. We ate rice, ham sandwiches, fruit kabobs, potatoes, cinnamon sugar cookies, and churros. We also listened to the Spanish national anthem and watched a Flamenco dance demonstration. During our meeting, we learned the 4H pledge. Each officer got a piece of candy that was related to his or her duties. Our next meeting will be in January. -Reported by Brodie Tucker, Wayland 4th Grader in Mrs. Magan’s Class
