Mrs. Eichberger's Class Celebrates May Day |
|
May
Day is a festival that marks the arrival of spring after the harsh
winter months.
The
day is filled with music and flowers and at the center of the
celebration is an enormous stripy maypole, around which children dance
and sing. May Day traditions include the weaving of ribbons are
woven into a colorful braid. When the children change direction,
the ribbons unwind, symbolizing the lengthening of the days.
Girls
wear colorful spring dresses, and tennis shoes so they don't slip on
the grass while dancing. Boys wear black and white clothing and
tennis shoes too! Black signifies the winter and white
signifies the summer. Girls wear flower headpieces
and boys wear straw hats with flowers stuck in them.
After
our Maypole dancing and singing, we went back to our room to eat some
special treats. Tucker put on a magic show for us and Louise and
Alexis sang for us while we ate.
Here
are a few of the children's thoughts on our May Day Festival.
"We
had Thundercake and strawberries. I liked the strawberries. "
by Bernice
"My
favorite part was when I did the magic tricks, and the food was really
good!" by Tucker
"My
favorite thing about our Mayday celebration was dancing around the
Maypole. And we were wearing our spring dresses and black
and white." by Kayla F.
"Mrs.
Lowe helped me make my hat. I use my hat for eggs
everyday." by Elijah
"Our
Mayday was the best! We did dances and had lots of fun.
We had cake and we had strawberries on the cake that my mom made.
Tucker's magic show was the best." by Julie
"My
favorite part os the Mayday festival was dancing around the maypole.
It was very fun and it was very nice of our teacher to do that."
by Megan
"My
favorite part of our mayday celebration was Tucker's magic tricks.
My favorite one was the coin that went through your ear and
disappearing trick. by Devin
"I
was the wolf and it was fun and we played Drop the Hanky. We
danced. We ate strawberries." by Nate
Here's
Some text too!
