This project centers around activities and research about different countries and cultures (African, Latino, etc) in reference to the Caribana Celebration that happens every year in Toronto, Canada and a variety of other places across the globe.
Some of the places that the students are researching are:
Trinidad, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Grenada, Cayman Islands, and Africa.
The students are looking up very specific information in regards to the traditions of the above places, as well as the type of music, dance, arts, and food that that respective place is known for.
Arts and crafts activities for Camden Caribana include making face masks, head dresses, costumes, and a variety of other projects. Students are also learning African Dance as part of the dance sessions that happen on Mondays and Fridays and Brazilian Drumming which happens on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The culminating event for this project will be Friday June 1st. The students will present trifolds and poster boards of the many places they researched and have activity tables as well as a cook out. We are looking forward to this event!
