No School tomorrow

Today we continued our social studies presentations. We learned about
- Food in India
- Music and dance in India

Some interesting facts we learned were:
- A popular dish in India is curry
- Rice is included in almost every meal of the day
- Most people eat with their fingers
- Watermelon is a fruit that is eaten, especially on hot days
- Music and dance is an important way to tell stories
- Flutes, guitars and drums are frequently used instruments

We will be finishing our presentations next week.

We continued to read Mission Mumbai. Dylan and Rohit were at Rohit's cousin's engagement celebration. It was a very decadent event with lots of colors, fancy clothes and a huge buffet. We learned that Rohit cannot eat chutney because it makes him very sick. Rohit and Dylan overheard Bua bragging about how she controls her brother (Rohit's father) and will have no problem keeping Rohit in India for school. She kept saying how her opinion was more important than Rohit's mother. Rohit became so angry that he went to the buffet and chugged a bowl of chutney. Then, he went over to Bua and threw up all over her. This created chaos and anger between Rohit, Bua, Mrs. Lal and Dylan.
