Instead, they would spend the day learning about different cultures. They started their day with an assembly. All of the teachers and students went to the gym. They listened to a woman talk about people living in the United States. She showed pictures of cities and farms. She showed pictures of people who lived in these places and people from other countries. Each picture was so different from the one before! Kathy thought it was great. She loved learning about people living hundreds of miles away. When the assembly was over, the students returned to class. Their teacher had a lesson planned on different types of music. She played music from the Andes Mountains. The music had a flute and several drums. It made Kathy shiver because it was so beautiful. Then, her teacher played music from Africa with people chanting and stomping their feet. The music made her smile. She really wanted to dance. They had time for one more type of music. This time, their teacher played music from Scotland. At first, it sounded as though an animal was howling. Then, the classroom filled with a sound unlike anything Kathy had ever heard. It was the first time Kathy had ever heard bagpipes! They rumbled and bellowed and even squeaked. Kathy was inspired. She knew that someday she wanted to travel and listen to all of this music in person.
