Projects and ideas for OXI Day

OXI Day pictures from around our school





Images from World War II posters and photographs from the internet printed out and laminated to decorate the bulletin board on the way into school.








Project completed by Kindergarten and Pre-School students of the Afternoon school.





Bulletin board with project completed by 1st graders of the Day school outside the Greek rooms.
Thank you to all the Kindergarten bloggers from Greece for the wonderful ideas for OXI Day. What a blessing to be able to share resources and ideas across the world to benefit our children.

For more OXI Day ideas, take a look at my favorite blog list to see what teachers in Greece are doing to teach the new generation about Greece's heroism and role in

World War II.


ΖΗΤΩ Η ΕΛΛΑΔΑ!!

Pictures from my other Greek School will be posted tomorrow.

Σ΄αγαπώ μανούλα-- I love you Mommy!!




We had so much fun making these Mother's Day projects at Greek School tonight. The girls especially liked learning princess vocabulary like βασίλισσα, στέμμα, κοσμήματα and more.

Thank you to the bloggers at Στο τελευταίο θρανίο της Πάτρας for the crown template. The poem on the reverse side is by Γιώργη Κρόκου called "Μανούλα" from the book Ανθολογία Σχολικών Ποιηματών και Τραγουδιών

Ήρθε ο Λάζαρος ήρθαν τα Βάγια,ήρθε των Βαγιών η εβδομάδα.Ξύπνα Λάζαρε και μην κοιμάσαι,ήρθε η μέρα σου και η χαρά σου.
Πού ήσουν Λάζαρε; Πού ήσουν κρυμμένος;Κάτω στους νεκρούς στους πεθαμένους.Δε μου φέρνετε, λίγο νεράκι,που το στόμα μου πικρό φαρμάκι.Δε μου φέρνετε λίγο λεμόνι.που το στόμα μου, σαν περιβόλι.
Ήρθε ο Λάζαρος, ήρθαν τα Βάγια,ήρθε η Κυριακή που τρων’ τα ψάρια.Bάγια, Bάγια και Bαγιώ.τρώνε ψάρι και κολιό.Και την άλλη Κυριακή,τρώνε το ψητό τ’ αρνί.
Ήρθε ο Λάζαρος ήρθαν τα Βάγια,ήρθε η Κυριακή που τρων’ τα ψάρια.Σήκω Λάζαρε και μην κοιμάσαι,ήρθε η μάνα σου από την πόλη,σου ‘φερε χαρτί και κομπολόι.Γράψε Θόδωρε και συ Δημήτρη,
γράψε Λεμονιά και Κυπαρίσσι.Το κοφνάκι μου θέλει αυγά,κι η τσεπούλα μου θέλει λεφτά.Βάγια, Βάγια των Βαγιών,τρώνε ψάρι και κολιόκαι την άλλη Κυριακήτρώνε το παχύ τ’ αρνί.»

On the Saturday of Lazarus, the Saturday before Holy Week, women in Greece, and of Greek heritage around the world make cookies or small loaves of bread in the shape of a person and call them "Lazarous or Lazarakia" In various areas of Greece, children make Lazarus dolls out of fabric and tie them onto a stick decorating it with flowers and go around singing the Lazarus carols (like the one in the youtube video above). Many times in return, they receive eggs to paint red for Pascha.

Karagiozis

Last Friday at Greek School we learned the letter Κκ. K is always a great letter to learn because it becomes Karagiozis day. The kids really enjoy looking at the different "figoures" and making their own Karagiozi to take home. Here are some Karagiozi resources for you to join in the fun.
