Our Cultural Learning Continues

Poland 

Filip taught us about the country of Poland. Filip taught us some words in Polish. 

Hello-Czesc 

Friend- Kolega 

Thank you-Dziekuje 

The Poland flag is white and red. We colored some Polish flags. 

Vietnam and China 

Jada's family lived in both Vietnam and China. Jada's mom came to show us some beautiful cultural clothing. The clothing was so beautiful! 

We learned about the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is an important holiday for China and Vietnam. Red clothing is worn for good luck. Family members give children money in red envelopes. Fireworks and lanterns are often used to celebrate the Chinese New Year. 

Iran 

Kayan helped us to learn about Iran. 

What a beautiful flag! The students loved looking at words in Farsi. Kayan brought in some books that were in Farsi and English. Kayan also brought in a DVD from Iran. 

We practiced saying words in Farsi. Salam is my favorite. 

Kayan has a book that tells about Norouz, the Persian New Year. We learned many cool things about Norouz. For Norouz, families put a "Haft Seen" on the table. Hyacinth, vinegar, wheat sprouts, Senjed (dried fruit), Sumac (a kind of spice), garlic, and apples are included on the table to represent the Haft Seen. Families may also add flowers, pastries, colored eggs, gold fish, a mirror, and pictures of family members in their Haft Seen. 

We had so much fun learning about the different cultures that make us so special. Thank you for all of your help!
