Dear Parents,
This past week in the Toddler class we learned all about Chanukah! It was so much fun to walk into the classroom and see all the Chanukah decorations. We decorated our bulletin board with a really pretty menorah, it looks so nice! We had fun doing dreidel color matching, and making menorahs with play-dough and candles. We all listened so nicely as Morah told us the story of Chanukah. We worked hard this week creating beautiful projects to take home. We painted our beautiful Menorah that we were so excited to bring home! Thank you to Milo's Grandma for donating some wooden pieces which look beautiful on our menorahs!
We took candles, and rolled them into paint that made really pretty patterns, it felt so cool to roll those candles all around!
We learned that the miracle of Chanukah is about oil ( finding the oil, and the oil lasting 8 whole nights instead of one ) we went on an oil hunt around our classroom. We took a medicine dropper, and dripped oil onto a paper, then we took spray bottles with paint, and sprayed paint all over the paper, because the paint and oil did not mix, it created a really interesting picture. Those oil projects turned into our "drip mats" which also are being sent home to go under our menorahs. We want to make sure the wax doesn't drip on the table, but rather on the drip mat. On the back of the drip mats there are the blessings we say before lighting the Menorah.We are so excited to continue learning about Chanukah next week!
Shabbat Shalom!
