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... |

Janis's mom; about to do the Peruvian dance |

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.
