Dia del Nino

Sunday, May 6, 2012
In Latin American countries, April 30th is considered the day of the child.  Just as we celebrate Mother's and Father's day, they celebrate children on this special day. In kindergarten, at Kate's International Baccalaureate school, they celebrate the day of the child too.  Luckily, my Mom was able to spend a little time that morning with me helping out at the celebration.

The children rotated among all the classrooms doing different activities throughout the day.  First, we helped them make colorful tissue paper flower bracelets...

Then we went outside and they planted a lima bean in a cup.

They did the chicken dance which I think is a super fun dance.

They also had pinatas and other fun things but we had to leave and I did not get photos of the rest of the celebration!  Kate's lil face was so sad when she had to say goodbye to Mimi.  It broke my heart.  Thanks Mimi for coming to visit:)
