Cultural Traditions are Celebrated in the Second Grade!

Students in the second grade have had the amazing opportunity to learn about various cultural traditions that are special to our JCDSRI families.  Our project began when we learned about immigration and, through our fa241 mily research, decided that it was important to celebrate our diverse cultural backgrounds and traditions. We celebrated Holi – the Hindu spring festival of colors or the festival of sharing love:)
