Chanukah in Kitah Alef Bet

Potatoes are the stars of this holiday! We use them to make latkes, and we can also use them to decorate with pegs. We pressed so hard with our muscles in order to make them stick!
A tissue paper collage on a dreidel-shaped paper is a great way to practice our ability to choose and arrange the paper, and use glue to make them stick!
Potatoes are useful for so many things! We split red potatoes in half and dipped in paint to make colorful potato prints.
We love watching the colors mix!
We made colorful decorations for our windows. While choosing the colors, we used the words, "red," "yellow," and "blue."
Contact paper, sticky side up, was a great surface on which to arrange our colors. When we were finished, we removed it from the table and hung it in a window in our classroom.
Giving and receiving gifts is a big part of this holiday. At lunchtime, we read a gift from Ziva's Gaga and Poppie, I Want My Hat Back. We loved it and asked to hear it again and again! Thanks!
