pleasantly surprised

I had known for a while that Seth's school was having a multicultural fair, but I kept recycling the notices.  Every multicultural fair I've ever been to has focused on generic African and Mexican exhibits.  But Seth insisted we go, and I finally caved when I heard he had a group poster on display.  Nathan and Amelia stayed at home, but plan to attend next year.  I have pleasantly surprised.  In the gym, they had a lineup of several different types of dancers.  As we walked by, a little first grader was dancing a Bollywood-style number, and it was too cute for words. We proceeded down the hall, where Seth made a paper drum.  We then listened to a story, and then hit the cafeteria, where he got a "passport" stamped as he learned about different countries.

 Almost as an afterthought, we remembered to look at for his poster:

Please excuse his handwriting.  He had great handwriting when he learned to write in preschool.  Then in kindergarten they taught d'nealian, and his handwriting has never been the same.  In the past couple weeks I've started to really remind him to concentrate, because sometimes I can't even read it!
As we walked past the gym on our way out, we got to listen to an African drummer.  Next year, we will plan to stay longer.  Good program, Seth's school!
