Keep the learning going! This week, we are exploring a 2,000-year-old tradition celebrated globally and right here in North Texas.

Teams paddle in long, narrow boats decorated with dragon heads and tails.
A drummer sits at the front, beating a loud rhythm to keep everyone paddling in sync.
It’s not just about strength; it’s about teamwork!
🥟 THE FOOD: A Tasty Pyramid
The Treat: Zongzi: (zong-zee).
What’s Inside?: Sticky rice stuffed with sweet or savory fillings, all wrapped up in bamboo leaves.
Try it!: Look for these "sticky rice triangles" at your local Asian market this week!

Ready to welcome the summer solstice with a soundtrack? June 21, the world transforms into one giant, open-air stage for World Music Day!
🎵 Turn Up the Volume: Your Family’s Global Summer Soundtrack Starts Now! 🎸
Ready to welcome the summer solstice with an epic family soundtrack? On June 21, the entire planet transforms into one giant, open-air stage for World Music Day (or Fête de la Musique, as they say in France!).
Started in Paris in 1982, this global festival has one beautiful, simple rule: Music must be free, live, and everywhere. It’s the ultimate way to kick off summer and sneak a little global culture into your kids' vacation!
Want to keep the cultural learning alive all summer long? Start with these three family challenges on June 21:
🎹 3 Ways Your Family Can Celebrate
Host a "Junk Drawer" Jam Session: You don't need fancy instruments to be a performer. Grab some Tupperware drums, rice-filled shaking eggs, or a tissue-box guitar. Head out to the porch or backyard and make some noise!
Go on a "Sound Safari": Head downtown or to a local park. Ditch the headphones, open your ears, and see how many different instruments or styles of music your kids can spot.
Take a Global Sonic Trip: Fire up Spotify or YouTube and pick a country your family knows nothing about. Listen to traditional sounds from West Africa, Mongolian throat singing, or Colombian Cumbia. Ask the kids: How does this music make your body want to move?
Summer-Long Culture Tip: Keep a "Musical Passport" on the fridge! Every week this summer, let a different family member pick a new country. Listen to their top charts, map where they are in the world, and discover how music connects us all. 🌍✨
What’s going to be the first song on your family's summer playlist? Let us know in the comments! 👇 ... See MoreSee Less
