Herzlich Willkommen to Unified Arts 6!!!!
Dear Unified Arts German Students and Parents of Unified Arts German Students,
For our "FOOD AND FUN IN GERMAN" day, IF you can---and please don't go to a lot of trouble or expense---would you please send one of the following items to school? (see below)
The EDUCATIONAL GOALS of this activity are really very worthwhile
and include the following:
• identifying foods common to German speaking countries;
• comparing and contrasting eating habits of German speaking cultures
with our own;
• reading labels in German;
• trying new things: foods, continental style of eating, etc.;
• learning and practicing German words and phrases in a contextual situation;
• and HAVING FUN WHILE LEARNING!
This will also be a time to review what we have learned over the past 9 weeks
and to say: auf Wiedersehen! I've enjoyed this time with my students and I hope that Unified Arts German has been a positive experience for your child. I hope that he/she will consider continuing their study of German language and culture in the 7th and 8th grades and/or at the high school. If I can answer any questions about these options, don't hesitate to email me: rogerskc@vestavia.k12.al.us or call me at home: 823-4685.
Sincerely,
Frau Rogers
Guten Appetit!

…or any family recipes or speciality items you have in the cupboard or run across at the store. But please, this is very "last minute" and I don’t want you to feel you have to cook or make a special shopping trip tonight! IF you do go out…Klingler's European Bakery and Deli has a lot of interesting and yummy things…they close early in the evening but open early in the morning too…
The items with an *asterisk could be brought to school in crockpots which I can plug in in my classroom.
