Today we had a lovely family come in and talk to us about customs and traditions celebrated in India! They told us lots of interesting facts about India...but the focus for us was the Celebration of Lights known as Diwali! It celebrates victory (lights) over evil (darkness). Women are up early stringing lotus flower garland, laying colored sand in the shape of a lotus flower to welcome all the visitors that share yummy treats on this special day! Families go to temples, buy new outfits to wear and enjoy the good things in life! The night skies are filled with beautiful lights and fireworks.
Top Dog Tuesday:
We listened to Arabella read Little Miss Stubborn...I think we had lots of connections today!
Today for the weather we had a lot of meteorologist! We all got excited about the cold weather! I'm sorry I missed yesterday when there was snow! I will try to get some uploaded....You tube is not being my friend right now! Next "year" we will start writing a "script" to help us remember the information we would like everyone to know
Have a wonderful evening!
