Teaching English to children with special needs: US Independence Day

Project "Teaching English to children with special needs" got started from the celebration of US Independence Day on July 4^th, 2013. The participants of the event were the children who attend English classes. They learned interesting facts about the USA and traditions of celebrating Independence Day in America. Kids made handmade decoration by themselves. At the end of a celebration children received treats: candies and food that local McDonald's donated. Also our Celebration visited Khrystyna who is a worker at "Window in America" in Lviv. She told kids about traditions of celebrating 4^th of July nowadays and showed them the book about Independence Day. Also the workers of "Window in America" gave us a big US flag. It was not only the main American symbol at our celebration but also I had a chance to tell and show children what stars, stripes and colors on the flag symbolize).
