This week at school, children helped make paper chains to decorate our classroom for our schoolwide Winter Celebration! Zoe led children in cutting out strips of recycled paper and weaving them together.
Families came in to visit and share their winter holiday traditions. Nona’s parents, Nadia and Robbie, and Eli and Athena’s parents, Justine and Daniel, visited and shared about Hanukkah! We got to hear two Hanukkah stories, light a Lego menorah together, and eat sufganiyot together.
Throughout the week, children enjoyed the snow in our yard! We explored the textures of snow and observed how ice and snow melt into water. Zoe shared with us about Ukrainian Christmas, and we made cherry turnovers inspired by Ukrainian verenyky to celebrate. We served these turnovers at our winter celebration!
We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and we are looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year!
