International Day Parade

A few of you have emailed me questions about the Parade, so I wanted to make a post about it.

We will have a International Day Parade Friday morning. The students that are dressed in traditional clothing for a country and have the countries flag & Sign of the countries name will participate by walking in the parade. This means... if your child wears a Karate Gi, they may not be able to walk in the parade. Or shorts with flip flops, they may not be able to walk in the parade.

Some dress ideas I remember= a toga for Greece, a flowery dress for the Island Countries, a kilt for Ireland or Scotland, cheongsam dress for China, I even remember seeing a pharoah from Egypt!

STUDENT DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE! If a student is not dressing up for the Parade, they will sit with me outside our classroom and watch the parade. (I dress up a little but this is one parade that I LOVE to sit and watch!! It's amazing to see everyone all dressed up!)

**I went through some of my past school blogs and I found this International Day slideshow. It'll give you a glimpse into International Day. (My students from this video are now in 3rd grade...they grow up so fast!) There's a short video of the Parade for you watch. Disclaimer~ I do not know if the man with the bagpipes or the dancing dragon are attending the Parade this year.  **
