In my classroom, we absolutely love to celebrate culture. Exploring and discovering different cultures allows us to better connect with our peers and grow a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
We had the privilege of learning about the celebration of Diwali, the festival of lights, a couple of weeks ago when Mila and her family came into our classroom to shared their special celebration with us.
We explored the celebration through a book and Mila's special presentation, which she presented along side her father. Mila's Grandmother even joined us to give her further insight. We then all had the chance to decorate our very own Diya, a lantern you light during Diwali. My students had a great time learning about the festival of lights and they were especially excited to bring their Diyas home to show their parents.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful celebration with us Mila and family!

Christmas
We were also blessed to have Omar and his family bring in a Christmas tree and decorations for our classroom. We had so much fun preparing the tree and decorating it! The children all took turns helping with spreading out the branches and enjoyed choosing a couple of the beautiful decoration to put on the tree.
We will continue to decorate our tree over the next couple of weeks with our very own homemade decorations.
Thank you so much to Omar and his family for this wonderful addition to our classroom!

I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful, giving and caring community.
I absolutely love sharing different cultures with my students! If anyone has something special they would like to share with us, please let me know! I would be delighted to learn more.
