Dawali
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 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 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.
