RSI Classroom Thanksgiving Celebrations
This week RSI is celebrating Thanksgiving with intentionality and joy! This holiday is one of the main holidays celebrated at RSI, as part of the English class curriculum. Every language class has two holidays that are celebrated to bring insight into the culture the language is apart of.
Grandparent and Special Friends Day
This year, "Strong Roots Make Beautiful Leaves" was the theme of the Grandparent and Special Friends day hosted at RSI (Renascence School International). This was one of RSI's annual events, hosted to celebrate and honor an incredibly important group of people in our students' lives. Students were invited to bring their grandparents and special friends on campus for a morning of connection before classes began.
Dia de Los Muertos at RSI
Recently in class, students celebrated Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), which is an important holiday in the Mexican tradition. This event is marked by the creation of ofrendas, which would be an alter in honor of the deceased. They are typically decorated with photos, items, and the favorite foods of the deceased to honor them. Students also enjoyed in-class activities, such as eating sweet bread and sipping on Mexican hot chocolate, and themed crafts!
