Grades 5-10: Culturama!

Description:My school has an event every year called Culturama, where students research various cultures from around the world. This year I am looking to make a few connections with some classrooms directly, for 2 different reasons:

1. So my students can ask a class questions and get more authentic information about their chosen culture. This connection can happen at any time between (9:00 AM CST and 3:30 PM CST), any day prior to April 15th, and can be from ANYWHERE!

2. To have one of the classes (or a smaller group) from a culture above join us on the Culturama Night (and Day?) Live to communicate with the visitors of the event! This connection needs to be April 21st for a period of time (30 minutes to an hour) between 5:00 PM CST and 7:30 PM CST.

...If you would like to "learn" about Canada in return, that works too...
