The days around special holidays are always magical times in the classroom. This year a few of our parents volunteered to come into the classrooms to share their holiday experiences with the children.
Hanukkah
M.'s mom came in to speak to all of us about Hanukkah. She began by reading us a story about Hanukkah. After the story we watched and listened while she and M. lit the menorah and sang the traditional blessing. We all had fun playing with dreidels and singing the Dreidel song. M.s mom also brought in delicious potato latkes with applesauce and sour cream for snack! It was a very lovely morning.
Christmas
D.'s father and G.'s father came in to speak to us about the Christmas story. G.'s father had prepared a slide show that the children truly enjoyed watching while they spoke. The children had lots of questions and comments about the presentation. The fathers also presented the school with a lovely nativity.
