We at the American Corner in the Public Regional Library of
Ceadir Lunga celebrated Christmas and New Year alongside our weekly Children’s
English Club. It was a lively and fun event! The children were very excited and
looked forward to celebrating. The week before we practiced English and learned
about Christmas and winter! We made drawings about Christmas and then we made
cut outs of snowflakes from paper.
Then we were ready to decorate the American Corner! We first
started by posting the snowflakes and drawings on the walls, followed by
hanging Christmas garlands on bookcases.
After, we had a small Christmas tree which the children
decorated with balls, more garlands, and of course, a bright red star on the
top! It was wonderful to see our tree light up. This is similar to the American
tradition where families would bring a tree inside their houses and decorate
them.
Then the children received gifts! Just like a traditional
Christmas Day J
The boys received Santa hats and the girls got pretty masks! They really enjoyed it and decorating the American Corner
was a party full of energy, excitement and fun! What a perfect way of having
the last English Club at the end of the year!
We hope to see you in 2018! Happy Holidays from us at the
American Corner and the Public Regional Library of Ceadir Lunga!!
