Louisiana Day

The 3rd graders at Maplewood celebrated Louisiana Day today. Each class rotated to different classrooms for different activities. They learned all about Louisiana wetlands, the life cycle of a crawfish, Mardi Gras, and got to hold a baby alligator. They even got to eat all kinds of different Louisiana foods and  decorate their own king cake. Here's Sarah with her good friends, Madison and Carolyn.



Each student was also allowed to decorate their own float and bring it to school to display.



Here is Sarah with hers.



It's kinda plain and simple. She said she didn't want to do one, but I knew she would be sad when she got to school and didn't have one. So we threw this one together last night.



After all of the activities, the 3rd graders got their floats and beads and put on a little Mardi Gras parade for the rest of the students.






Here's Carolyn with her float.



And Madison with her float.



It was a super fun day.



Happy Mardi Gras y'all!
