Hanukkah
One of the things that I aim to do whenever possible is to expose the children to the diversity of our world. Since its Christmas time it is a great time to learn more about Kwanzaa and Hanukkah. This week I added a few Hanukkah related works that will definitely get them to ask me questions.
Today I will like to share the practical life works.
The Menorah Tray
This is how it looks when completed.
Folding Napkins with the Star of David.
Spooning symbols of Hanukkah.
I added this too because of the colors white and blue. Blue and White are the colors of the Tallit(prayer shawl) and the Israeli flag.
I have quite a few books that I will be reading to them as well. The symbols will be discussed and lots of geography and cultural studies will be done.
