UN Day Celebration and "Where the H*** is Matt?" off of Youtube

The Singapore American School Primary Division (Grades K-3) celebrated United Nations Day (UN Day) today.

The children were asked to come dressed in attire that reflected where they were born, lived, or nationality of their family. The entire division had an assembly where they had a Parade of Nations Flag Presentation depicting the 50 countries and flags represented amongst The Singapore American School. We then listened to children speak about the UN and how it was formed. Then we saw amazing dancers and performers in amazing costumes. Lastly, we watched the following video about a man named Matt who traveled around the world to DANCE with everyone. Amazing stories Matt has about his adventures. The kids read outloud each country and cheered on their "home" country. They cheered really loudy when Singapore came up! :)

As M. Scott Peck once said "Share our similarities, celebrate our differences."
