Blog Post by: Lamees Shalaby, 3rd Grade

On October 28 it was International Club! We did Mystery Skype with kids who we did not know! But we started getting to know them. We each had jobs to do. It was really fun! It took a long time to guess where they live. They guessed first. They found out it was Fredericksburg V.A. Before we had to go, we could not figure it out so they had to tell us. It was Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic! That’s what we will be learning this year. So if your in 3rd grade through 5th grade tell your parents next year I want to do International Club.
