St.Valentine’s Day and its observance in the USA

Today the staff of the Foreign literature department and Window on America center visited school No.141. This school is a long-time partner of the DOUNB Library as it has a focus on English study.
The aim of the visit was to tell the children about a popular American Holiday Valentine’s Day and its observance.
The children were offered a slide show about the holiday’s background and legends about Valentine.
Several sing-along songs were very popular with kids: they learned how to spell the word “HEART” and remember the pretty colors for Valentine cards.
To wrap up the presentation the WOA staff offered big-screening of the iconic Disney cartoon “Chip and Dale and Miss”. Children of all ages enjoyed the funny chipmunks’ love story.
The children were fascinated with the songs and stories, eagerly answered rather complicated questions and impressed the WOA staff with their interest in English study.
Number of participants – 130 persons.
