Japan has a festival in July called Tanabata. Children write their hopes and dreams on colored strips of paper. They tie the papers and other decorations onto branches from bamboo trees. At the end of the festival, they stand on a bridge and cast the branches into the river.
Many people believe that the wishes will be carried away by the river and come true.
Today 5th grade students were helping 2nd grade students attach decorations to the branches. They will display the branches at school until July 7th.
What are your hopes and dreams?
