We will be learning about the Hindu holiday of Diwali this week. Students will learn about Diwali through the reading of "Binny's Diwali", an age-appropriate book about a young girl who shares her holiday with the students in her class. Sometimes it is difficult to find "just right" books to explain topics like this to our young students but this one is perfect. I loved that it talked about the universal themes of goodness and hope and enabled me to make connections between other holidays celebrated by our students. After checking out books, students colored "rangoli" designs and listened to Diwali music.
