DR Independence Day



February 27 was the Independence day of the Dominican Republic. Instead of having class that day we had a parade through the community of Mata Gorda. We painted the kids faces with the flag and they marched behind a car that was playing the Dominican National Anthem. All the people of the community came out to watch the kids go by. It was a fun activity and a great opportunity for the kids to learn about patriotism, political freedom, and the history of their country.
