Global Education Week 2019
For the week of January 28 through February 1, Solebury School hosted our annual Global Education Week!
我们首先在阿贝大楼挂了一张世界地图，供学生和教职员工张贴他们住过和/或去过的地方. The photo shown here denotes Costa Rica, where Solebury hosted a 2017 spring break trip and will return again this spring. 这名学生的帖子捕捉到了旅行和体验新文化的美好:“两年前我去了哥斯达黎加, and I fell in love with everyone's laid back attitude. Growing up in New York, everyone's in such a rush. I don't think anyone enjoys anything because they're rushing."
Also, as a preview to Global Ed Week, 9th grader Morgan Barnes hosted a K-Pop Night in Holmquist Dorm on Saturday, January 26. Students chose the music videos to watch and snacked on special treats!
Monday
Traditional Clothing + Flag Day
Students wore traditional outfits from their native countries, like these Solebury School students from China...
Students taught friends and faculty paper cutting: “Paper cutting is a traditional artwork in China. Chinese people cut red paper into different patterns, and glue them on windows as a lucky and happy symbol. 使用红纸是因为在中国文化中，红色与喜庆和幸福联系在一起.”
Tuesday
During Arts Period, students watched the film, LIYANA. 《韦德娱乐app下载地址》是一部打破体魄的纪录片，讲述了斯瓦蒂尼王国的五个孩子把过去的创伤变成了一个原创的寓言故事，讲述了一个名叫LIYANA的女孩开始了一场危险的探索，以拯救她年轻的双胞胎兄弟. 这部电影将她的动画旅程与诗意的纪录片场景编织在一起，创造了一个关于毅力和希望的鼓舞人心的故事.”
At lunch, students and faculty participated in Chinese calligraphy. The students below taught us how to write our names in Chinese. They were wonderful teachers!
