Calendars

Each month all of the children at our school make their own calendar. It is always a lot of fun because I never know what to expect. Most become very creative and will personalize it with notes on dates that are important to them (a friend`s birthday or a family event). And the pictures are always fun to look at.

This week all of my young children are making a calendar fo

r the month of March. In one class, a student couldn't decide what to draw: Hina Matsuri or White Day. (-_-)..?

Hina Matsuri is Girls`/Dolls` festival. Families with daughters will display beautiful dolls in tradition court costumes, and family and friends will pray for the daughter`s health and good fortune.

In Japan, Valentine`s Day is the day when girls give gifts, mainly chocolate, to boys. So on White Day, boys are suppose to return the favor and give chocolate to girls.

Because she couldn`t decide, the girl drew a picture where the boy Hina Matsuri doll was giving a gift to the girl doll. It is adorable! <(^^)>♥

The calendar she was using to write down the dates had a puppy for this month`s picture, so she was inspired to turn her Hina Matsuri dolls into puppies.
