Kristi and her brother Ken treated third and fourth
graders to a visit to Thailand. Students learned how the

Where is Thailand? 12 Hours away!
Silkworms
Silkworms spin their cocoons.
Up close and personal!
"Cocoons with worms of moths inside will be put to dry in the sun
and after in the hot water to make it easy to pull the thread out
of it. One cocoon gives about 500 - 800 Metres long silk."

Next, students were introduced to painting elephants!
Elephants hold the paintbrush in their trunks.
They are surprisingly accurate in their artwork.
