Day 2 Wish Flags
 

Read I see the sun in Nepal written by Dedie King

During the reading point out the prayer flags, call them wish flags

Discuss the wish flags and what a wish is, talk about what they wish for

In small groups, make wish flags with the students
                        Cut a variety of different colored construction paper to about the size of an individual prayer flag
                        Call the students over in groups of three to create their flags using crayons, colored pencils or markers
                        After the students are done drawing what they wish for, they will then dictate to a teacher their wish, which the teacher will write on the flag
