Zion's international luncheon

On Friday Zion's class had an International Luncheon. All the students brought food from their own family's heritage, and the parents came to celebrate. Here is Zion with his buddies Julian and Henry!
We decided to focus on Zion's Swedish heritage, because we thought Swedish pancakes would be a fun food to bring. Here is Zion hiding behind a plate that says "Thank you" in Swedish!
Zion knows that he was born in Nebraska, so he had made a picture in class that said "My family is from Nebraska" and had little corn cobs all over it! We had to laugh. I would not say our family is "from" Nebraska...but oh well!

We convinced him to get a picture without the plate in front of his face...here he is with his friend Jadyn, who sits next to him at his table.
Notice the class had decorated with special flags for the Chinese New Year!
I had to get a close up of this artwork! The class has been learning about Rosa Parks. Here Zion drew her and wrote: When Rosa Parks didn't get off the bus she got arrested..."

We think he's a great artist! Check out the difference with the picture on the left! He he.
