Celebrations and Holidays

As a part of the First Grade curriculum, our students learn about many different holidays and celebrations throughout the school year.  This week we focused on Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights.  At Friday's assembly the girls watched two Upper School students perform a traditional Indian dance.  This week in our classes we have been reading, writing and learning more about this Hindu New Year.
