We had our last day of our first specialty -- ceramics, and there we put our final touches on our Menorahs with gorgeous paint colors. Following this theme, we LEARNED BLESSINGS, told STORIES, and DISCUSSED the holiday of CHANNUKAH. Of course Paul came to sing our favorite Chanuukah songs. During story-time, we learned about all the special symbols and components that are relevant to Channukah -- the menorah with eight openings for light along with a ninth Shamash, jelly doughnuts and warm latkes, golden coins called GELT, DREIDELS, and, as Quincy put it: the best thing of all -- the warmth of family and friends.
We continued our conversation/artistic representations on the seven days of creation. We filled in our creation circles with the specific category of worldliness that was created on each day. (See last week's post for a recap).
Finally, with the most eager of anticipation, we filmed our our first short film! We will make a creative video of each day for the next few weeks as we move into our second cycle -- storytelling!
Next week we are organizing a field trip to the place for stories... the library! We will be sending out an email with more details.
We are also looking forward to welcoming our parents/guardians into the classroom Saturday, November 23rd celebrate Channukah -- the Festival of Lights and the closing of our first cycle!
