This Friday, we are having a school-wide pyjama dress down day. It is wear-a-pair-bring-a-pair for Pyjama Patrol, see flyer below. In JK we will have a fun and cozy spa day, so bring your favourite bedtime story, a stuffy, and a pair of slippers (if you have! They are optional!)
Today we made some beautiful unique marbelized invitations for our Chanukah show tomorrow evening! If you’re interested in the process and the science, please click here. We learned about the miracle of the ‘shemen’ (oil) on Chanukah, why shemen (oil) does not mix with mayim (water), and experimented with different kinds of paper that we called ‘thirsty’ (watercolour paper) and ‘not thirsty’ (cardstock). We also celebrated the first day of Chanukah with some singing, candle lighting, and window decorating. A very big TODAH RABAH! to Ivri’s family for bringing us a beautiful chanukiyah and some lovely candles!
Happy Chanukah!
In JK we’ve been very busy preparing for Chanukah!
We’ve been reading, crafting, singing, and practicing our lines and our dance for the Family Chanukah Celebration. We explored light with some of our translucent dreidels and other toys on our light table, and we had our third visit from our Grade 4 reading buddies! Keeping busy!
This week we began learning some of the symbols of Chanukah.
We used dreidels to paint dreidels, and hung them on our classroom door to get into the Chanukah spirit!
We have started practicing for the family Chanukah celebration (See flyer below) and are very excited!
