Happy Hmong New Year!

On December 16th, Community School of Excellence hosted a Hmong New Year Celebration.  Each class and enrichment group shared a song, story, poem, or dance.  Each one celebrated Hmong culture and traditions.  The Sixth Graders sang two songs: Kwv Tij Hmoob and Nkauj Kawm Ntawv, and then they performed a short play version of about a tiger who tried to eat a whole village.  Many of the students students dressed up in Hmong traditional clothing.  All the parents and the whole community were invited, and the celebration was a huge success. 

Here is a picture of my Sixth Grade Advisory class as they sat waiting for the first performers to begin.
