As part of our “Where We Are in Place and Time” Unit of Inquiry on why and how we celebrate around the world, Nitin shared the festival of Diwali with our class. Diwali is India’s biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row of clay lamps that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects them from spiritual darkness. The Senior Kindergarten students have made some papier-mâché figures holding candles for Diwali, which you can see below.
