African Mask Project

This week in Geography we had our african masks poject due. You see, in Africa there are many tribes. In those tribes, people practice animism. Animism is the belief in the existence of spiritual beings. They worship gods and figures of animals. Our task was to make a mask about one of those gods and give a senario of what kind of things the tribe would do in a ceremony that worshiped those gods. It turned out to be a fun and new way to learn about another person's culture and beliefs.

This week something great happened. It was my dad's birthday. My mom, brother, and I, woke up really early and we went into his room. Out loud, we all sang him the birthday song. He was so suprised. It was really fun. After school we all went to souper salad to celebrate his birthday. It was a very fun experience.
