Mrs. Williams second grade classes are learning about the art and culture of India called henna.
Henna is used for special occasions such as weddings, religious ceremonies, and holidays.
Making henna involves lines and other patterns.Did you know that egyptions used henna on their feet so they don't burn their feet while walking on hot sand? They do this because henna cools your blood so that help keep the sand under their feet cool.
In India they celebrate the elephant because they represent wisdom, honor, strength, and stability. Photos coming soon!
