Chuseok: Korean Thanksgiving

On September 30th, one of the most important holiday's in Korea will be celebrated, Chuseok.  Chuseok is when Korean families gather together to give thanks to their ancestors for their abundant harvest. It lasts for three days and is held around the Autumn Equinox.

This week some of the classes at the kids school held their own Chuseok celebration during their lunch periods.  Caleb's class was one of them! ( Rachel's class will celebrate tomorrow).

At the celebration, they served traditional Korean food ( bulgogi, fried rice, sushi, dumplings, etc), vegetables, fruit, and peanut butter sandwiches for those who didn't like Korean food.....sadly Caleb was one of those :(.  I tried and tried to get him to taste it, but he wouldn't.  


Getting the food ready for the celebration...

Some of the children in Caleb's class wore traditional Korean clothing called Hanbok's...can't wait to get our kids one!




I'm so thankful that our kids get to have experiences like this....what stories they will be able to tell when they are older!

Until Next Time,
Michelle :)
