Week 8
Last week we studied Kwanzaa, an African American celebration held around Christmas time. We looked at Africa and USA on the map. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the harvest of fruit and vegetables. Everyday for seven days, a candle is lit to represent a different special value.
Kwanzaa was started to highlight the special culture and heritage of African Americans. We made the candelabra of seven candles with Room 25 and discussed similarities to Hanukkah (11 candles).
The team from ASB came in to talk to the children about money. Tamati did a wonderful lesson on how we should buy things that we need rather than things that we want. He also talked about coins, notes, cents and dollars.
