What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
Instead of a typical lesson, this week we attended the Multicultural Dance and Music Assembly at Irvington School. Though learners were encouraged to come, they didn’t, so in the future we can work harder to encourage them to join us. Since this was not a typical lesson, we didn’t score ourselves, but would like to reflect on the experience.
The assembly featured Aztec dancers, Ghanaian drummers, belly dancers and original songs written and performed by students at Irvington school.
Saamiya loved the fact that so many children at the school are exposed to and encouraged to celebrate other cultures. The drumming especially reminded her of time spent in Nairobi, Kenya. She hopes that this kind of event can help children grow into open-minded adults.
The most memorable performance for me (Kelly) was seeing a young girl perform a song she had written. She was incredibly shy and sang very softly. When she got off-stage, her mother was waiting and hugged her and cried, obviously very proud of her daughter’s effort. It was clear in that moment how much events like this mean to community.
Both Saamiya and I were happy that we got to spend an evening with the larger Irvington community.

We also did a word find using the same map. We read a description of biking directions for people using the bike trail. We did a round-robin dialogue. We ended by playing a version of bingo using vocabulary related to maps.
