Join Rama and Sita to discover the Festival of Lights! In this traditional Indian tale, Sita is captured by an evil demon. As Rama bravely searches through the forest to fi nd his wife, he fi nds new friends and discovers that light will always win over darkness. As children listen to this story they will meet patterns in groups of items and discover how to continue the pattern. Recognizing and understanding patterns is vital to mathematical development in order to make logical connections and predictions. Dr. Lorna Ayton is a lifetime mathematician.
