Carnival

One of Aleena's classmates is from Brazil, and today his parents came to class to teach the kids about Carnival. They talked about Carnival, and showed a short film. Afterwards, the children made masks and a "shaker" made of a soft drink can with dried beans in it.

Here are some pictures of Aleena and her mask. She really worked for a long time on the mask, and she seemed absolutely delighted when people told her how pretty it looked. I hope that I captured some of that joy in the photographs.
