Our UN Day today was fantastic! Thank you, dear parents, for coming to join in the culture, bringing in delicious food from your home country and for making the parent engagement activity so meaningful for your sweetie. The children truly had a wonderful day. I even heard one of them say, "This is the best day of my life!" Needless to say, the day was a huge hit!
Please avail yourself to these pictures capturing all the fun. Also included in this set of photos are two short video clips of our assembly. Be sure to view those as they capture the festive feel of this special day.
And, just to recall some special numbers that we learned in our assembly:
506 students
71 nations
1 DAA Community
(ES Division, Grades 3-5)
This is a great iMovie (made by Miss Amanda, 3AG), which beautifully captures all of our ES nations. It was so touching to see the children cheer for their country, or in many cases, their countries. Their patriotism was truly profound. A few of us even got tears in our eyes...(sniff).
It was such a treat to gaze across the classroom and see so many parents so engaged with their child.
Using prepared information, which was researched at home, students compared their home culture's past and present dress, homes and monuments, as well as other general information. They will use these same skills when we compare the UAE's past and present culture.
