Winter holidays

We have been learning about different winter holidays this week and have made many projects. We learned about Hannukah and made a menorah and played the dreidel game. We talked about Kwanzaa and wove mkeka mats. This was very tricky, but our class stuck with it and had lots of fun. We talked about Ramadan and learned about the phases of the moon. This was very interesting! Take a look at the moon each night and have your child they and remember words like waxing, waning, new moon, full moon, crescent, quarter, and gibbous. There are also some neat videos on YouTube to watch!
We made Christmas trees by ordering branches by length and then decorated them! We will be making poinsettias and rangoli designs next week!
