Week 2- India

नमस्ते namaste

This is hello in Hindi. While India doesn't have a national language, Hindi is the most spoken. We were lucky to have shared the neat souvenirs Teacher Isabelle got while on her visit this past summer to India. The girls in class got to dress in a popular garnet known as a sari and the boys learned that the males wore very similar clothes as they did. 

Two very important people came from India, Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. And there was also this prince who built an amazing structure for his wife that he loved so very much. The sad part is he built it for her as a Tomb as she passed away and he wished everyone would remember her. He had it built out of marble and amazing stone work. This monument is Taj Mahal.  Ask your students how smooth the marble was. 



India has been added to our passports and our next stop will take us to the 2nd largest country in the world. See you next week!
