Having fun celebrating India's Makar Sankranti Festival!

We are so lucky to have many different cultures enriching our community of children at Coop!  Last week one of my student's mother talked with the class about India's Makar Sankranti festival.  This festival features kites and sesame sweets.  She helped the children make kites and then we went outside to fly them.  It was the perfect day in Illinois for kite flying!  A little breezy and temperatures in the low 40's. The children had a great time!
