Hamlet Day?

Today was a great day at school. Lots of learning and laughs going on, as seen in the pictures I posted. Some of my grade six boys decided to have a hair show today. It was one of those things you kind of had to be there for, but it was hilarious!
We have a four day long weekend due to Hamlet Day tomorrow and a PD day on Monday. I asked numerous children today what Hamlet Day is and what is included in the celebrations and no one seems to have a definite answer. The only concrete thing I can get out of them is that if I go I will get a hot dog. It boggles my mind how this is one of there biggest celebrations and I can't seem to get the scoop from anyone. Sarah and I plan to participate in whatever festivities are going on tomorrow for this holiday. I am hoping to be able to take part in some traditional games and be able to socialize with members of the community. It will be nice to get another taste of a function within the community outside of the school. I am guessing that traditional food will most likely be included in some aspect of the day. I have managed to dodge the caribou and seal meat so far and plan to continue to do so tomorrow. However, out of respect I will try it if it comes down to it. I will pull out every trick before getting to this point though. So far so good! I will keep you posted on the adventures of this weekend.
