Today was International Day at Indus, and what a culturally diverse day it was! (This time around there will be less typing and more posting of pictures to tell about it!) There were 6 countries represented by the different grade levels: India, Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, Brazil, Japan, and China.
Sacia's class represented India, so she wore Indian-style clothing (that I bought for her yesterday), a very pretty blue tie-top with a long skirt. She was so excited for her song and performance, and did a fabulous job! All the children in her class looked so cute in their Indian dress.
Ella's class represented Jamaica, and 6 from her class (including Ella) put on a play involving animals, a mossy rock, and falling over! Ella was the giraffe, and performed wonderfully! They also had a song and dance, most of which I was able to video, while managing to keep Zach from running off, and taking pictures, and feeding Zach snacks, and and and!
Other highlights were the costumes by the 1st graders, adorable hula girl and boy outfits. The class representing China had a beautiful dragon with colorful students dancing underneath. All the students did such a nice job!
It was just a wonderful program by the prep-1 through 5th graders, so colorful, interesting, and fun! Parents were to dress in costume for one's country, but what is an American 'costume'? Jeans and t-shirts?! I wore capris and a sweater tank top. There were many beautifully dressed people, including Indians in saris, a gorgeous Japanese mother in costume, a European woman in some type of bunad or costume (perhaps German?), and others. There was no mistaking that we're definitely not in small-town Minnesota!
I hope you enjoy the pictures! I had such fun taking them all!
