May 5th, which is the fifth day of the fifth month, is Children's Day in Japan. This special holiday is for respecting children's personalities and celebrating their happiness. Isn't that beautiful?! I wish we had such a holiday here!
This year and last year too, we were lucky enough to have Japanese mothers in our class that were willing to come in and talk about this special day and do a project with the children.
The project this year was folding a warriors hat with newspaper. Although it required a lot of help, the children really loved the outcome! Here are pictured directions:
Even baby Bobcat (our classroom is called The Bobcats this year) has his own Japanese warrior hat!
Lucky Bobcat!
