The first week, after finding Norway in an atlas we talked a bit about its climate and what sort of animals live there. We passed around some Norwegian sweaters and jewelry and looked at a traditional dress. The girls then learned how to finger knit, made little woven heart decorations and had a snack of open-faced sandwiches.
During the second meeting we listened to some traditional Hardanger fiddle music and learned a little dance. The girls drew tons of pictures of gnomes, animals and flags for our display. And for our snack, the girls made krumkake, a cookie baked on a flat iron and then rolled into cones.
Many thanks to all the parent volunteers, particularly Kari, Jenn, Amy, Josie and Keira for helping out with the event.
