Grade 1 students in teacher Rita Stone’s class had a great time celebrating Diwali, an important Hindu holiday. After enjoying their Diwali Party, the children had a better understanding of the annual Hindu festival. For example, they discovered that the word Diwali means “rows of lighted lamps.” Diwali is known as the Festival of Lights because houses, shops and public places are decorated with small earthenware oil lamps called diyas.
