Happy Mardi Gras!
We are celebrating Mardi Gras and Carnival all week in our language classes by making masks, playing games and singing songs. Children are also learning about how boys and girls around the world celebrate this fun holiday. For example, in France, children dress up in costumes and eat crepes. In Ecuador, don't go outside if you don't want to get a water balloon thrown at you!
Celebrate the holiday at home by making your own crepes (easy recipe here) with your children, dress up in costume or try one of the fun crafts at the following websites!
