Yesterday we learned about the Jewish holiday Hannukah. We traveled to Israel and Poland to visit. I traveled to Poland so I shared some of the things I saw, ate and did in Poland. They also go to see and hear Hebrew, and even practiced a few letter sounds! We learned about the story of the Judas Maccabeus, and how he led the fight against the Greeks. They made some great comparisons to the pilgrims during this discussion! I was impressed! They also learned about the oil burning for 8 nights, Menorah holds the candles and that they give gifts each night. We read Latkes, Latkes Good to Eat and Papa's Latkes. They listened to a fun song called: Candlelight-Hannkah which sings about the holiday to the tune of Dynamite (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSJCSR4MuhU). We also watched a Seasme Street video that helped us learned how to play a popular game during Hanukkah, Dreidel. They had a blast playing. I bought M &M's to play with although it is customary to use or win gold coins!
