Year 1-2 students took part in a special art activity to celebrate the upcoming Chuseok holiday.
They learned about traditional Korean patterns and their meanings while making cheongsachorong lanterns.
The children discovered that blue represents yin and red represents yang, and they created their own unique lanterns using the patterns they designed.
In Korea, there is a tradition of looking at the bright full moon during Chuseok and making wishes.
To celebrate this, the children expressed their own wishes in words and drawings beside a full moon illustration I had prepared. Their wishes were diverse—though simple and childlike, many of them were both admirable and touching.
I hope parents will enjoy seeing these heartfelt wishes when they join us for the Chuseok event.
