International Festival
The
multicultural thematic learning unit and the culminating International
Festival have given our students an opportunity to grow in awareness and
appreciation of ethnic traditions and cultural diversities around the world.
The theme was integrated into the curriculum with students learning about
customs, ways of life, foods, songs and dances of countries spread around the
world.
All students, both at the
Early Childhood Center (PK -& K) and at the Elementary School (K through Grade
5) had the wonderful opportunity of participating in this learning activity
during the months of April & May. Their learning culminated in an
International Festival with some entertaining music, song and dance
performances by students. Dressed in colorful ethnic costumes, students
regaled parents and community members with some scintillating performances.
Enthusiastic parental
participation in parent-child multicultural learning activities, preparation
and sharing of ethnic food items, participation by local consulate staff etc.
were the highlights of this year’s event. There were as many as 25 countries
represented, with each class learning about a different country,
The International Festival
has become a regular event at Crockett. This year is the third consecutive
annual program organized at Crockett.
