Santa's Workshop- learning Centers

Our class was a regular Santa's workshop this week.  We were busy making gifts for special people in our lives.  Shhh! We can't tell you what we are making!  We made chains using patterns with white, red, green and yellow strips of paper.   We are making something special for our mothers and fathers.  We studied Germany, and made a 3-dimensional Christmas tree.  Did you know the song Silent Night came from Germany?  We are going to learn to sing it in German!  We celebrated Hanukkah by playing a dreidel game.  We learned about Judah and the Maccabees! We got chocolate coins called gelt!  We had a lot of fun and are learning to do special things for special people in our lives.  Christmas is all about giving to others!
