Yet another wonderful aspect of Montessori education is how we celebrate cultures from around the world. We love to learn about many celebrations and festivals throughout the year in a multi-sensory manner. In doing so, the children glean an impression and appreciation for the rich, cultural diversity that makes up our world. Recently MFS celebrated Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. By tasting delicious fruits, smelling fragrant spices, feeling beautiful, hand-stitched fabrics and hearing traditional music and stories we explored the culture of India. What a bright and colourful week it was. Happy Diwali!
