Day 2 · Canada Day 🍁

With Canada Day right around the corner, Day 2 turned into a red-and-white celebration! From English learning and Canada Day crafts to baking a cake together and waving the maple leaf flag — here's how the kids made this special day their own. 🇨🇦

🍁 Morning Learning & Canada Day Crafts

The day opened with English learning — sorting leaves into parts of speech — before the room filled with Canada Day crafts: bright "Happy Canada Day" posters, painted bears, and fuzzy little husky friends.

🧁 In the Kitchen Baking Together

Then came the main event — baking a Canada Day cake together. Everyone took a turn with the mixer and whisk, folding the batter a bright maple-leaf red. True team-work, one bowl at a time!

🎂 A Cake to Be Proud Of Ta-da!

And the reward for all that team-work: a gorgeous strawberry Canada cake and a tray of festive cupcakes, each topped with berries and a little "I ♥ Canada" flag. Almost too pretty to eat! 🍓

💌 A note from Teacher Diane
“What a beautiful, professional-looking cake. What great team-work. Much love and happiness to everyone and your families, and may this summer continue to be as wonderful for you all, as these first two days have turned out!!!” ❤️❤️❤️

🍱 Lunch Homemade & Warm

Between all the baking and crafting, the kids refueled with our daily homemade Korean lunch — served warm, straight from the counter.

🎉 Canada Day All Together

To wrap it up, out came the Canada flags and maple-leaf face paint. Cheeks painted red, flags waving high — the whole room celebrated together. 🇨🇦
