May Day Leis!

May Day Leis! I thought this was a great lesson on multiculturalism. We learned how to make Hawaiian leis. We learned what it means to their culture, and why they make them on May 1st. As a part of this lesson we learned a little of the language as well as some traditions. One thing I found very neat was you can give a Lei as a sign of respect or out of love. I chose to give my Lei to someone I love very much, that is us pictured in the frame below. I think I will teach this lesson as a part of a multicultural week. I will add in some other crafts or jewelry from other cultures as well as preparing some traditional foods to share with the class.
