As the world is getting to be a smaller place, so are classrooms.  Celebrating Kwaanza, and Diwali, the festival of lights from India, are getting more commonplace.  Diwali is celebrated on the lunar calendar, and happens to fall on October 28th this year.

After a happy little celebration of Diwali in my daughter's preschool classroom, I wrote this article outlining some of the steps we took to make the festivities fun for the children.  I hope that you find the writeup useful if you intend to celebrate Diwali in your child's classroom.
