In the Savanna class, we continued exploring special days celebrated in Japan. We began with one event that children both love<\/em> and find a little scary<\/em>\u2014Setsubun<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than simply explaining what Setsubun is, I will focus on how the discussion unfolded in class: The children were very excited at first, but once the demon appeared, some covered their eyes while others showed a bit of fear on their faces. This became a meaningful moment for conversation. We talked about what the demon really represents\u2014whether it exists physically or not\u2014and learned that these \u201cdemons\u201d are actually the things inside our hearts: anger, sadness, or feelings that can hurt others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before wrapping up the week, we also explored other special celebrations for children in Japan\u2014Kodomo no Hi<\/strong> for boys and Hina Matsuri<\/strong> for girls. We discussed the symbols used for each event, when they are celebrated, the traditional clothing worn, and the food enjoyed on these days. The conversation was full of excitement, especially as the children proudly identified themselves:
\u201cI\u2019m celebrated on Kodomo no Hi because I\u2019m a boy!\u201d<\/em>
\u201cI\u2019m a girl, so I\u2019m celebrated on Hina Matsuri!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
