Easter Morning

This year was fun, Kai is getting more and more into the holidays.  He was super excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought! Fin even had fun checking out the goodies.

I love how Kai likes to eat the ears off the bunny and that is it!  He has done that two years in a row.  Fin could care less about the chocolate and I was fine with that!

Norooz

School was celebrating a lot of New Year events for Chinese New year... so I decided to set up a special display to introduce families to Persian New Year (or Norooz).  Norooz is celebrated on the first day of spring on the vernal equinox.  A typical spread includes a haf seen where families place seven items that begin with the letter 's' and where these items signify something special.

Imagination Parade 2014

 As you may remember 2nd Generation does not celebrate Halloween per say, but what they do hold is an imagination day parade for the kiddos.  Each room has a theme and the teachers (and kids but mainly teachers) make the costumes.

This year Hummingbirds (Fin's room) took direction from the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty where children were either the kings men or Humpty themselves... Fin was Humpty of course... he was so cute and the carriages the children stroll along in the inner courtyard were made up so spectacularly!  In Owl's (Kai's room) they were spiders from the nursery rhyme itsy bitsy spider.
