With the next few days being Eid, a major festival for most RIS families, this week's challenge is about holidays. Holidays can be fun and relaxing, but many holidays also have special meanings.
Your challenge is to learn four facts about a holiday. Sounds easy, right? But...the holiday you choose can not be a holiday from the country, or the culture, or the religion that you are from. This is your chance to learn about a ceremony or festival from a different part of the world, then share your knowledge with your family, friends, and teachers. For example, read about Mexico's Día de Todos los Santos, or Nepal's Dashain, or Brazil's Carnival, or Western Samoa's Teuila. Every country has its own special holidays and observances, so there will be plenty of information for you to gather.
Do your research, and then find Mr. Smith before Friday at 1:18pm. Tell him the holiday you chose, the country where it is celebrated, and four fascinating facts. Students who complete this challenge will be recognized here on Friday afternoon as a Holiday Facts O'Plenty Master of the Week. Good luck!
