Follow on Google News | Around the World with Arborland's International Culture DayBy: Arborland Montessori Children's Academy The event starts off with a program featuring performances of traditional songs and dances from all over the world. For this year's program, the children will be performing songs from Africa and Australia, and dances from Asia and South America, to name a few. Following that, a potluck lunch will be held at every classroom, headlining dishes from different regions. Guests can then visit all the classrooms, which are richly decorated according to the respective cultures that specific class is studying. While visiting and enjoying the decorations, children can also fill up their “passports.” International Culture Day (ICD) is the yearly celebration of the different cultures of the world at Arborland. Before the day itself, students get to explore the wonders of a specific continent assigned to the class throughout the school year. This, in turn, gives them a more intimate knowledge of the area. They learn all the basics: the countries in each continent, their respective capitals and flags. They also get to know more about the people, their traditions, and their way of life. By giving them the whole school year to learn more about each continent, this allows the children to create a deep understanding of the area, as opposed to the mere memorization of facts and figures. Come spring time, the teachers will choose a traditional dance or song from a country of that region to perform on ICD. It is an event that is well-received and well-loved by children and parents alike. The children look forward to ICD because it is a fun event filled with laughter and learning. Parents enjoy the day because they get to see their children's hard work. They are also pleasantly surprised about how much the children learn. Arborland is proud to be a place where many people from different backgrounds can come together to work and study. We see our diversity as an advantage; having different viewpoints and customs not only enrich our lives, but also help us in our success. Dr. Maria Montessori believed that we are all citizens of the world, and we gain a better understanding of it and its peoples by sharing and celebrating our cultures. Arborland Montessori Children’s Academy is a private school serving families in Fullerton and neighboring cities. Arborland has been a shining beacon of learning for 25 years, and it only grows brighter with every student that attends and excels in the school. Children from 18 months until the sixth grade enjoy the personalized curriculum, nurturing environment, and the excellent faculty at Arborland. Alumni have only the fondest memories of the school, and that is why they never fail to support Arborland whenever they can. End
