Mikenna's Denmark Presentation

Mikenna was happy to learn that soccer is Denmark's favorite sport as it is hers as well.

Mikenna's Denmark Presentation

Mikenna studied where some of her ancestors are from....Denmark. She completed a report and spent a good month on studying.

Then her class had a presentation day where parents where invited to hear about their studies and listen to their report.

Mikenna also made our traditional Ableskiver Danish Donuts to share with the whole class and shared our new year's tradition.

Toby also spoke to her class about his Danish/Norwegian ancestors. He talked about how his great-grandfather Olaf Rasmussen, was the first to bring the Rasmussen line that Toby is from to the U.S. Toby's ancestors are pretty "new" to the U.S. He also talked about how his mom's family is from Norway, and that we have done genealogy work back into the 1700's. He has ancestors that made shoes, he had several that were sailors - Vikings.....pretty cool for Mikenna to learn about her ancestors. We enjoyed the process as much as she did!!
