Take the wonder tour of Iberia Parish. Our 6th grade gifted students culminated their year long enrichment project with a presentation of the Wonders of Iberia Parish. The video was created from a PowerPoint slide show of the 10 wonders. Students created a list of possible wonders after meeting with the director of the Iberia Parish Tourist Commission. They created a survey on Survey Monkey. To display the results, each student painted a wonder image. These images have been glued to a quilt top. They also researched and wrote a blurb for a selected wonder.
The quilt is on display at the Bayou Teche Museum on Main Street in New Iberia. The video is posted on the Iberia Parish Tourist Center website.

The art is fabulous, Margaret, and Margaret’s students! What a gift to the community you’ve given. People who visit, people who live there and already enjoy the ‘wonders’ will all enjoy your work for years to come. Well done!
This is wonderful Margaret. What great work incorporating, writing, researching, social studies, art and technology. And a project that contributes to the community. WOW! What a great gift for your students and the folks who visit your community.
Margaret,
Thanks for sharing your project. It makes me want to come visit and see the places I have now heard about. The combination of information and art really help to make this an interesting work. How wonderful that it has been shared with others.

What a wonderful project and gift to the community. I can tell your students love New Iberia as much as you do! I love how they’ve compiled their learning. You should all be proud of your work!
Wonderful project!
