Last night was the Full Moon Festival. For the past few weeks the kids have been learning about the vietnamese culture and the celebration of the full moon. Traditionally...the kids go all through the streets with a lantern and people give food and gifts to the children. They also celebrate by eating moon cake. So the kids made their own lantern at school. Natalie made the star and Grey made the boat. The first performance was from the K, 1st and 2nd graders. They sang a song and did a dance. I also filmed this occasion as I took pictures. I am a multi-tasker!! I did not get a good picture of Natalie because she was in the back row. After that we walked to the front of the school and watched a wonderful performance. There were drummers, stunt people, dancing dragons and the all lit up dancing dragon at the end. As soon as my battery is charged up on the video camera I will down load it to you tube and email the link. We all had a really great time! It can be so much fun learning the different culture!!!
I also want to take a time out for those affected by IKE. I have been keeping tabs online...looks like no power for my houston friends for a while. I wish everyone well and hope that you did not get too much damage!
