HAPPY DIVALI!!!!









We were fortunate enough to have Pranu's mom and baby sister join us today to teach us all about DIVALI! We learned about DIYAS (Small lamps); The story of RAMA and SITA; RANGOLI (Welcome designs); and FIREWORKS! To find out more, you can read this website:

We started making our very own diyas and we will make our own rangoli this week too! The official date this year is Friday, November 5th.
Once again, we are so lucky to have such a diverse classroom, so that we can share our celebrations with each other and learn about the world around us, because we have our own little world in the palm of our hands every day.
Thank you Nandini!!
