Kwanzaa celebrations start on December 26th. We will be talking about this when we return to school. We will learn that it is a fairly new holiday and that people who celebrate Kwanzaa are showing their pride in their African culture. We will make bracelets in the special holiday colours of red, black and green and colour some colouring pages showing children wearing their traditional clothing. We will "light" our paper candles on the special candle holder called a Kinara, three of green, one of black and three of red. We will read a book about Kwanzaa and some of the ideas it teaches, such as working together and being creative. Those are ideas we think are important in our classes too! Happy Kwanzaa!!!
An interesting post on Kwanzaa.Best wishes for your future posts.
