Mkeka Mats for Kwanzaa!

In Social Studies, we are learning about all of the different celebrations and special days celebrated in Canada.  Last week, we learned about the African Canadian celebration of Kwanzaa.  We learned about the many symbols and traditions for Kwanzaa. 
We made mkeka mats that are used as decorations for this celebration.  We weaved red and green pieces of construction paper to make the mat.  Red, green and black are the special colours for Kwanzaa.
