In a June filled with the spirit of graduation, Teacher Luke brought stories of how different countries celebrate graduation, for our young bookworms to explore.
In Taiwan, besides the usual ceremony, some schools take graduates on a physical challenge up a mountain to collect their diplomas, and many sign one another's uniforms (“Signed T-shirts”) as keepsakes. In America, graduates wear caps and gowns, move the tassel from right to left, and toss their caps to mark a new chapter. In Argentina, after the ceremony comes “egging” — friends shower graduates with eggs, flour, and paint in a joyful street celebration. In Sweden, graduates ride parade floats through town, sharing the graduation spirit with everyone on the streets.
Although library story time was only 15 short minutes, our little bookworms surely gained a lot. Let's loudly wish all Hsinmin graduates: Happy Graduation!
在充滿濃濃畢業氛圍的六月，Teacher Luke 帶來了好多不同國家慶祝畢業的文化，讓大家一探究竟唷！👀
🇹🇼 在台灣，除了常見的畢業典禮外，有的學校會帶著畢業生進行體能訓練，前往高山拿取自己的畢業證書；還有許多畢業生會在制服上進行「Signed T-shirt」，留下師長朋友的簽名當作紀念。🇺🇸 在美國，畢業生們會身穿畢業袍，將穗（tassel）從右邊撥到左邊之後進行 cap toss，象徵即將進到新的階段。🇦🇷 在阿根廷，畢業典禮過後會進行特別的慶典 egging，大夥兒將雞蛋、麵粉、顏料往畢業生身上揮灑，在歡愉的街道上慶祝成長的喜悅。🇸🇪 在瑞典，畢業生會站在遊行車上進行 Town Parade，大方展現進入新階段的期待感。
雖然圖書館說故事的時間只有短暫 15 分鐘，但相信這次來參加的小書蟲們一定收穫滿滿。讓我們一起大聲地預祝所有新民國小的畢業生們：畢業快樂！Happy Graduation!! 🎓🎊
