Our annual “Autumn Bazaar”, one of the traditions of our kindergartens was held in the first week of November. The weather was chilly and rainy in Gradinita Rasarit (MB) and held indoors, but the weather was sunny and crisp in Gradinita Rasarit (BN) and there the courtyard was transformed into an open air market. Parents were the “customers” and the children were very proud and excited to play their roles of “sellers”. They had been busy for several weeks, making many crafts as well as jam, pickles and sweets for the Bazaar. It is also the time of year when we talk about Romania, and Romanian traditions. The children dressed in traditional costumes and in the MB kindergarten they also performed traditional dances for the parents. The events ended with a “tombolo” – a toy-exchange raffle.
