Windy Day

The second day of Chanukah we celebrate the

miracle of the sacred lamp that stayed lit 

for 8 straight days in the "Bait Hamikdash".

Today we challenged the children to draw

the Menorah with candles or wax, and 

painted over it with water colors.

Levi, Akiva and Nissan didn't see anything,

and then they noticed the water color, we

instructed them to paint over their drawing.

Dalya, Chana and Mendel weren't sure what

they were seeing...

Mayer and Devorah drew a nice Menorah.

We are worked on fine motors skills

by threading Chanukah candles. 

The table was empty, Ido came he was curious.

 After a minute the table was full with 

happy children enjoyed threading candles.

At circle we had the chance to talked about 

the weather. We let the children find a 

word to describe the weather today.

The children were illustrating with their 

hands what happens to the trees with 

windy weather.

They moved like the trees in the strong wind. 

We made a new windy weather bottle.

The children helped add leaves

 and pom poms.

We are going to use it more often

as the weather is getting

 colder and colder.

Then we lit the second candle of Chanukah,

sang Chanukah songs and spinned dreidels

with friends.

They were very excited....
