International Day

Every year, my school has International Day. Hong Kong International School is truly International, with students from all over the world....dozens of countries and languages are represented at the school. The students wear their traditional dress, bring food from their respective countries, attend a big assembly, and have a parade to show off their outfits. HKIS hired dancers to showcase different traditional dances and had a few different acts to celebrate countries from all over the world. It was a truly unique event that isn't likely to be repeated in my future job!

Some of my students from the US, Malaysia, and Japan

More students from Taiwan, Korea, Sweden, and the US. It's hard to take a picture of 2nd graders without someone giving bunny ears in the background.

A 2nd grade class had a "living museum" with students from England, Australia, France, Ireland, Malaysia, the UK, Sweden, the US, Canada, India, China, Japan, the Netherlands, Thailand, and a few others.
