Celebrating Diwali with our Children and Families
Thank you so much to Greenspring parents and grandparents who visited our classrooms today to speak about Diwali!
Our Elementary and Children’s House students were captivated by the rangoli and diya demonstrations. They asked many interesting questions about the history and cultural significance of Diwali. After the demonstrations, our classrooms received their own rangoli kits – you may have seen the beautiful colored sand mandalas as you walked across campus.
In a Toddler classroom, students decorated their own paper diya with some special jewels and Greenspring parents sent in Diwali bags for everyone to take home with a battery-operated candle and a clay diya.
Children also sang a song about the lights during this important holiday.
Little Lamps
“Little lamps are burning bright, burning bright,
burning bright, burning bright.
Little lamps are burning bright.
It’s Diwali!
See them lighting up the night,
up the night,
up the night.
See them lighting up the night,
It’s Diwali!”
