Holiday+Sharing

All kindergarten students will be learning about Hanukkah in Ms. Davis' classroom as part of the holiday sharing event on December 17th.

Beginning at 1 pm, we will have each class (Davis, Cooper, O'Loughlin) in our room for 30 minutes. For the first 10-15 minutes we will present the story of Hanukkah with props and discuss the celebration with the class. A craft will follow and there will be time to play dreidel for a bit. The children will finish up in their own classroom for snack from 2:30-3 pm.


 * STORY: ** Menorah -- talk about how to add candles as the days progress. What is the name of the candle that lights the others? Who can find the menorah that is set-up for the second night of Hanukkah? the fourth? the last? Say/sing prayer in Hebrew and explain. Mention gifts & food -- refer to display. Why do you think people eat fried foods for Hanukkah? Explain Dreidel game. Sing a song?


 * CRAFT: ** Make flame party hats.

**DREIDEL GAME:** Play dreidel with pennies in groups of 4-5 children.
