Week 18 News

 
This week we continued our Christmas around the world theme. We traveled to Italy and read Old Befana. This story told us how the tradition of La Befana started in Italy. 

We traveled to Israel to learn about Hanukkah, the winter festival of the Jewish religion. We learned about the Menorah and that children love eating the “latkes” on this special festival. We also made Star of Davids.

We traveled back to Germany and we read The Legend of the Candy Cane and made glittery candy canes. We also read Rudolph and made Rudolph out of our hands and feet. 



On Friday we invited our fifth grade buddies to our room to help us make these Holiday Wreaths. 

Thank you to all the parents who helps decorate the christmas trees.
 They look great!

Here are the Christmas light names the kids made in Art this week. 

**Just a reminder the Holiday Party is on December 20th at 2:15. Please try to have a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or family friend come help with this very fun project.
