Happy Hanukkah

This week, as part of our inquiry into how different members of the class celebrate the holidays, Grade 1/2 had the opportunity to learn about the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah from Mrs. Frenkel.  She was kind enough to share a short story in Hebrew and talk about the history and special traditions of Hanukkah.  The class even had the opportunity to play with some dreidels that she had brought all the way from Israel.  Grade 1/2 then took turns lighting the candles on a menorah and made some colorful Hanukkah themed artwork using melted candle wax.

A big “toda” to Mrs. Frenkel for her visit.
