Hanukkah in Gan Yeladim!

We began our Hanukkah unit today! We read the story of Hanukkah and learned about the Macabees, mean Antiochus, the temple, and the miracle of the oil. After the story, we talked about the different things we do on Hanukkah; play dreidel with gelt, light the Hanukiah, eat latkes and sufganiot (jelly donuts), and spend time with our families. Finally, we learned the rules to play dreidel and then had a whole group dreidel extravaganza!
