HAPPY HANUKKAH!

Today, Charlie and his mom talked to the class about the celebration of Hanukkah.

First, she read us a story called "Chanukah Lights Everywhere".
She talked to us about lighting the menorah--one candle for each night of Hanukkah until 8 candles are lit on the last night. The candle in the middle of the menorah is the "helper candle".

We enjoyed eating donuts and potato latkes--2 of the traditional foods eaten during Hanukkah.
Charlie T. and Jake gave us Hanukkah gelt (chocolate coins) and a dreidel.

Miles shared with us a dreidel that he made.
