Happy Holidays! The children had an exciting week before break exploring and experiencing Hanukkah and Christmas traditions. There was plenty of gelt to be won during the Dreidel game, and the children loved learning the Dreidel song. We also took a wild ride to the North Pole for a visit with Santa. The children gave the conductor their golden ticket and jumped aboard. We also learned about the Menorah and its 9 candles including the Shamash candle.
On Thursday and Friday we wore our pajamas and had a special holiday snack of pancakes with butter and syrup. Yum! We played holiday games including pin the nose on Rudolph! The children created a variety of Christmas crafts such as our very own handprint Balsam Fir. We took turns guessing what type of Christmas tree we had in our house based on its smell, texture and color. We hope everyone had a wonderful break and Happy New Year!
