We also talked and read about Hanukkah. Each day we pretended to light the menorah. We talked about the miracle of the oil and made our own paper menorahs. It was so sweet when the children said while putting the glue for the glitter on their paper, "I have enough oil for all 8 candles! It's a miracle." Harper brought in a menorah and Ari brought gelt for everyone. It is wonderful when the children share about their lives.
Here are pictures of our centers this week.
Next week we will focus on American Symbols. Get ready to be filled with facts. We will be completing the math section of the MAP test on Monday and Tuesday. We usually start between 9-9:30am. If you talk about the test at all, just remind your child to take their time. No need to rush because they can have as much time as they need.
