On November 9th, we celebrated Diwali, the Festival of Lights!
At Busy Little Bees, celebrating different cultures is about so much more than crafts and music. It’s about creating opportunities for our children to see their own traditions represented, learn about the traditions of their friends, and recognize the beauty in the many cultures that make up our Hive. We are so proud to create a learning environment where differences are celebrated, curiosity is encouraged, and every family has a place to shine. At the preschool level, we introduce Diwali through a simple but powerful message: light over darkness, and the importance of spreading kindness, love, and happiness to those around us. Our staff embraced the celebration by wearing traditional kurtas and bringing the joy of Diwali celebration music and dancing into our large group time! Each classroom read a Diwali story during read-aloud to set the stage for their small group activities.
Our PreK 3 students painted their very own clay diyas, traditional lamps that symbolize light and positivity. They even had the special opportunity to “light” their creations during read aloud!
Our PreK 4 students got creative with hands-on paper plate diya mandala art! Using colorful gems, fine motor skills, and plenty of imagination, each child designed a unique masterpiece of their own.
To end our celebration, every student went home with a special Diwali goodie bag filled with traditional-inspired stencils, colored sand to continue the creativity and celebration with their families!
Happy Diwali to all of our families who celebrated! May your homes always be filled with light, love, and happiness
Busy Little Bees proudly celebrated Veteran's Day on November 10th.
Our students honored our veterans by walking together, proudly waving American flags during Outdoor Time, that each child got to bring home. During read-aloud, each classroom shared a Veterans Day story and talked about the meaning of service and sacrifice. We’re thankful for all who have served and continue to serve.
