Students in Kindergarten and First Grade have been learning about the culture of India through the use of the book Count Your Way Through India by Jim Haskins.  We started at one and learned about how to say this number in Hindi and about the amazing banyan tree.  Students then drew their own banyan tree in an India book they are creating.  As we’ve continued on, we’ve discussed the two circles on the India flag, Gandhi’s three possessions and the four spires around the Taj Mahal.  As we continue counting, we will learn more about Indian culture and add to our books.
