HANUKKAH STORIES

As I walked in to Classroom #1 this morning, I had to sit down and join them for circle time. You may ask, "What were they getting ready to do?" Well, let me tell you that students were engaged in thinking about what they had previously learned in regards to Hanukkah. Ms. Crystal began her morning meeting with great thinking questions.

Students sang songs about different holidays last week in our holiday show. It was great to see them want to respond and share what they remember from previous lessons. Students were sharing about how candles are part of this tradition and that one candle it lit each night. Other students shared on how they get presents during Hanukkah.

Ms. Crystal then began her read aloud and students were part of each moment in her story time. They were active participants, listening and answering questions, but also making predictions about what they believed would happen next in the story.

During the month of December, parents can visit the NYC Library and check out the many different Hanukkah as well as other holiday books to read with their children at home.
