Diwali

Our class recently learned about Diwali-also known as the Indian (Hindu) New Year. This is the biggest festivial in India.

Diwali means “row of lighted lamps” and the celebration is known as The Festival of Lights!

It is tradition to light small oil lamps (DIYAS) and place them in and around the house.

Today, our classmates painted DIYA candles, and listened to some books about Diwali.

A BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Sriraman for sharing with us. Our class learned so much!

Children had a ball making their very own DIYAS

We are currently displaying them outside our classroom.
