ALASKA ACADEMY: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL?

When does the Mid-Autumn Festival take place, and in which season of the year?

What is the significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival? What activities will occur during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

What is special about the moon on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?

… Lasting only 45 minutes, the experiential activity “Enjoying Mid-Autumn” for class 2A4 not only helps the Alaskids find answers to these questions but also provides opportunities for them to have fun experiences such as: making colorful paper lanterns by hand; working together to arrange a beautiful Mid-Autumn feast…

More importantly, the sharing by the homeroom teacher, Ms. Thuy Duong, about the hardships faced by people and children in rural areas affected by floods during the lesson helps the Alaskids develop empathy and appreciate the joy of celebrating Mid-Autumn under the beloved school roof with teachers and friends; enjoying the moon and sharing treats with their warm families.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, if there is one wish, it is that the floods will cease, so that the children can return to their studies soon, and the schools where the floods have just passed will once again be filled with laughter and chatter.
