Owl Moon

Last Thursday, Owl Moon by Jane Yolen was the book of choice in class. It's a beautiful story with gorgeous, wintry landscapes.
I wasn't in class, but I heard a fantastic art project happened as well as some owl calls. How exciting!

I hope you all have an amazing holiday break filled with lots of stories and fun:).
See you in January!

Hooray for Hanukkah

 Today we continued with our Jewish studies as we further explored  the book, Mrs. Katz and Tush.

We watched part of a Reading Rainbow episode that featured this great book about friendship and kindness.

We then completed a dot-to-dot page that revealed a menorah.  We then learned all about Hanukkah. 

We learned about the 8 days of celebrations.  We even played the dreidel game with mini marshmallows.  Everyone caught on very quickly and we even had three games going at once!

Lastly, we hunted for the matzoh cracker in the Fellowship Hall.  It was eventually found and everyone was rewarded with a golden chocolate coin.

Next week, Teacher Suzanne is going to delight us with the book, Owl Moon!  It's a wonderful book full of gorgeous illustrations.
