Around the world in one night
Last night was International Night at the Twofer's school and I was completely wowed. Families chose to represent a different country from around the world and set up tables with photos, books, artifacts, and even food from that country.
Many families chose countries they had ties to, and even included short dance routines like Irish Step Dancing. Some families just chose a country and used it as a way to explore another culture with their kids. One family chose to represent the country where they adopted their children.
Each table was unique and you could see the families that chose to participate had the most fun as they stamped each child's paper passport.
And I learned a lesson - sometimes it is better to give of your time, than to receive.
Jambo! Next year, I think we'll do the Kenya table.

That is really cool. I've seen this done through Cub Scouts. They brought a bag piper in to play music. It was the coolest.
