We finished learning about Chanukah this week. We made a Chanukah collage with stickers, made potato latkes with Morah Abby's class, and spun dreidels that lit up!

We painted large vehicles to decorate our classroom... a yellow bus, a blue airplane, a black car and a red boat.
We rolled cars in paint and watched as they made fun tracks on the paper!
The children were given different shapes - circles, rectangles, a square and a triangle - to make their own choo choo train!
And we also...
played ball outside!
introduced our new pet, Hockey, to the class!
