Peru with Culture Grams

2nd graders in Mr. Wallace's class used Culture Grams this week to learn more about Peruvian culture. We used our Durham County Library card to access the Culture Grams database on the DCL website. Culture Grams is a database containing reliable, up to date information on more than 200 countries. We are lucky that our local library provides this excellent resource for its patrons!

Students chose what topic to research and found out information on food, holidays, sports, the economy, language, animals, landforms, and much more! Color photographs helped students understand and comprehend the new information.

At the end of research time, students gave me a thumbs up to show they learned something new about Peru-- we had a lot of thumbs in the air! I can't wait to see how the students decide to share their information with families for Hispanic Heritage Night!
