This month our Spanish class will be learning all about India. Today we were introduced to India and found out many thing. We looked at a map of India and learned that it is made up of 6 countries. Ms. Simone showed the students that women in India that are married wear a red "Bindi" or ornament on their forehead. Only the married woman are allowed to wear the red color. We also learned that the words "bangles, shampoo, bandana, and bungalow" are words that came from India in the 1800's. We would like to send a big thank you to the parents of one of our students, Mr. and Mrs. Vijayakumar. They sent in a beautiful wedding shirt and jewelry from India for the students to see. We always love when families share their heritage with us. We are looking forward to learning about the foods from India next week.
