Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) is next week. Since we’re on vacation next week, we had our party today. Yay for parties!
The kids wore their hanbok (traditonal Korean clothing). We made songpyong (rice cakes stuffed with sesame seeds). We played yootnori (a game played with four sticks) and jaegi (kind of like hackysack). The kids did the ganggangsullae (a traditional dance).
The kids looked wonderful in their hanbok. The songpyong were delicious. I think a good time was had by all.
Today, in arts & crafts, Winter Class made a castle from a copy paper box. I have to admit, I had a lot of fun doing it. I roughly followed the directions over at Enchanted Learning. What would I do without the internet?
It did take a full two periods, so we missed library time. The important part is the kids had fun and were really proud of what they created.
Enjoy the little ones!
This was last week’s craft for Summer Class. The overriding theme for the month is Thanksgiving. This year, Chuseok, the Korean thanksgiving celebration, is in September. Last week’s minitheme for Summer Class was “I’m thankful for my family”. I had all the students bring in a picture of their families and we made picture frame. I got the idea from two different sites. The foam board frame idea came from Enchanted Learning. The mosaic idea came from Kaboose.
Enjoy the pics. I think the frames the kids did came out fabulous.
