Happy Diwali

This week, Grade 1/2 had the pleasure of yet another guest visit.  Mrs. Damle kindly agreed to come and share about how Diwali is celebrated in India, one of the biggest and most popular holidays for Hindus.  The class learned about the different days of the celebration and their special meaning.  Afterwards, she showed Grade 1/2 how to make patterned paper lanterns to symbolize the lights that are used to scare away spiritual darkness.

Thank you very much Ms. Damle.
