Rosie's Visits the Thrid Grade

As a part of multi-cultural week, Rosie was asked to visit Lily's grade and speak about her experience living in Ethiopia. Since her vocabulary is still under 20 words or so- I did the talking for her. The kids were great- the asked a lot of questions.... some were easy to answer, "Did Rosie like flying on the airplane?" some tougher- "Do people in Ethiopia have enough money?" and some that I couldn't answer and had to say- "good question, lets look it up." like "Why did the Ethiopian flag used to have a lion in the middle and now it has a big star?"

Here are Lily, Rosie and her teacher following the presentation. Lily and Rosie gave everyone in the class a little Ethiopian flag... the modern one with a star instead of the lion. I couldn't have guessed that I would be questioned about flag history!
