C'mon guys! It's International Day at school today and I do not want to be late. 

International Day was a very big deal at Middlebrook Elementary school. Students of different cultures had the chance to share there culture with the rest of there class while getting to try yummy foods from around the world. 

Jordan was especially excited because him and his mother had been working on her famous Arroz con pollo for hours.

While Jordan was enjoying some of his moms cooking, Hope was not so interested in it. She had never tried Spanish food before and was nervous.

Oh my god! It came out so good! You guys need to try this.

Hope hesitated to try the food but eventually gave into Jordan's peer pressure. Instantly her eyes lit up out of enjoyment as she went in for another bite!

Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy it! What other Spanish foods are there?

I knew you would like it! Sometimes you need to be open to different and new things. Next you need to try paella, its even better than the chicken. 

Next time you're making it, I better be invited. Should we check out Nicks table next?

I am doing my traditional dance called the Schuhplatter. My family does it whenever we get together. 

Nick, what did you do for International Day?
