Kwanzaa Celebration



The Kindergarten students learned about the Kwanzaa celebration this week. The students read the story "My First Kwanzaa" by Karen Katz. Students created a windsock with the traditional colors seen in Kwanzaa celebration- black, red and green. Students also enjoyed a delicious snack of various fruits found in the Kikombe. A Kikombe or unity cup is made up of corn, apples, yams, nuts, and squash. The fruit and vegetables remind the people of the end of the harvest and the beginning of the planting season.
