International Night
Recently we had the pleasure of attending one of our homschool group's functions-International Night. Every family (or child) picks a Country and makes a little project about that Country. Then they make a native dish from that Country and even dress up if they have the right attire. This is our third year participating: the first year we did Holland, the second year-Canada.
This year we did China. Since the Chinese
culture is so vast though, we concentrated on the language.Then during the event, all the kids were given 'passports' and they had to go around to all the Countries to find answers to the questions inside. Here Sammie is deep in thought (hense the puzzled look).
The dress I am wearing was actually hand made and tailored in Beijing, China. My Uncle Doug went to China this year to help his Chinese sister-in-law get a visa and while he was there, he had this dress made for me. I love it!

Sammie's project looks very impressive. Good for her and Oma is very proud.
Lovely dress! and not to forget the 'pretty woman inside' which I love to see, o the girls are growing so fast!Thanks for showing the photo's and your interst's I really love to read them all.
Greeting for you/Jennifer and Paul:)
(BTW how come... that the profile photo's -of the commentors- are not showing on your blog? I just wonder, don't you? Thats so strange...)
BEAUTIFUL! and so is the dress.
What a great idea. Does Sammie have a nation in her heart? This will give her great opportunity to learn about the world. We are so proud of her.
Hey, did she write those titles?
Joann,
I don't know why...that is strange.
Mom and Lynne,
Thank you very much. The writing was done by me, but Sammie added her touches here and there.
