India Week

Our school recently had India week, a week in which the kids learned about the food, dances, songs and cultures in India. At the end of the week the elementary children performed in a India week program. It is always so interesting to see the different blend of children on stage in their bright Indian outfits. Emily sang an Indian song in with her class and Logan performed an Indian dance. Emily wore her sari and looked just beautiful. Logan wore his Indian dress- a kurta and pants, he really wanted to wear his jeans but reluctantly put on his Indian pants! Mason who was not in the program wore his doti as most of the kids wore some Indian attire. Mason thankfully had Sundar help him put it on as there is a trick to it. I think they each looked very stunning! The only thing really annoying about the program, or any programs at our school is the noise. Some of the noise came from the students but most of the noise came from the parents. As our school is made up off so many different cultures some groups do not know how to be quiet at events. It was so frustrating the entire time there were a group of ladies talking loudly (not in English) the entire time. Let's just say if looks could have injured they would be seriously wounded.
