🌍 Saturday Culture Share: Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺

Let’s take a virtual trip to Hawaii - a place rich in natural beauty and cultural meaning. From active volcanoes to deep-rooted traditions, there’s so much to explore in your English classroom!
🔸 Cultural element of the week: The Lei In Hawaiian culture, a lei is a garland or necklace made from flowers, leaves, shells, or seeds. It's given as a symbol of love, friendship, celebration, or honor. 🌸 Here is a fact: It’s considered impolite to remove a lei in front of the person who gave it to you - a sign of deep respect for the gesture.
