SPECIAL CELEBRATION DAYS

The Baalvardi Curriculum includes either a full or half class period dedicated to special
celebration days. These include Bandi Chor Divas, Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab, Guru
Gobind Singh Ji’s Gurpurab, Vaisakhi and Sikh Environment Day. Materials and methods for
each are provided.

During Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab, Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Gurpurab and Vaisakhi, the
students perform a compilation of shabads and/or songs they have learned to the sangat in
one of the main halls of the Gurdwara Sahib. Performing in front of the sangat is a wonderful
opportunity to help build confidence and ease the children into comfortably speaking in front of
an audience, essential skills that every child should cultivate.
