IndiaWe had an amazing cultural exchange project in www.Class2Class.org hosted by Tr. Alexandra! Students from Tr. Kellie's class in the USA shared their exciting fall activities, like hayrides, pumpkin carving, apple picking, camping, roasting marshmallows, Halloween celebrations, and watching scary movies.Happy to meet Tr Kellie Mason From Russia, students talked about Maslenitsa, which includes burning a scarecrow—similar to the Bhogi festival in Tamil Nadu. They also shared a fun tradition with bread and salt, where whoever bites off the largest piece becomes the head of the family! Our students from India proudly presented our rich culture too. A big thank you to Tr. Alexandra Ziborova for making sure every student had a voice. You are an incredible host! Let’s continue doing more projects together. Thank you, Class2Class.org for connecting us. Jhansi Ravikumar Ambassador www.Class2Class.org
