Monti’s school held their first multi-cultural night. Every child received a passport with pages listing different countries names and a question regarding each one of the countries. At each family sponsored station the student would learn the answer to the question and receive a stamp for that country. At the end when their passport was complete they received a world globe pencil sharpener. They learned quite a few interesting things in the evening. The Philippines are made up of 7,107 islands and St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.
In the middle of the event all the IVE students went up on stage and sang a really cute song about the children of the world saying hello.
“Hello, bonjour, buenos dias!
G’day, guten-tag, konichiwa…..
Ciao, shalom, do-brey dien
Hello to all the children of the world! “
Monti was very serious as she sang. She later told me she was being “proper”.
Here is Dahlia with her friend Katie. Katie was wearing a traditional Korean dress. Her family performed a Korean bowing ceremony for everyone.
