Manit Week (Part 2)...

Wednesday
International Day until lunch time and then we went to the College of the Marshall Islands (CMI) for their manit week activities
(Once again, mainly 11th grade-focused)

-   Three teachers, including myself, showed pictures of our travels and taught them a few songs and dances from around the world
-   One of our parents are from Australia; she did Aboriginal dot art with them
-   One of our parents are from Peru; she did Peruvian dress, dance, food, and some other things I think
  

The man in the middle, David, is the MSHS English teacher. He was teaching them the Jewish hora or dance at weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs.


Apples and caramel; just because...

One of the students dot art; they love turtles...

CMI was giving out plants to all the students

CMI had a bunch of activities in their courtyard, including dances, games and competitions.

Even though they have spent their whole lives in the heat, they still don't want to be in it.

One of the games that the 11th graders played - they had to have one rock in their hand, throw it up in the air, and remove one rock from their mat. Whoever removed all the rocks first won.
