Hanukkah

Tomorrow is the first day of Hanukkah.  We learned about Hanukkah today. We asked friends to tell us some things about Hanukkah.  Here is what they said:

We listened to a song about Hanukkah.  We loved it!

We watched a video about Hanukkah. It was good.





Long ago a miracle happened. The Jewish people could not celebrate their special days anymore and someone came and said I will still celebrate my holidays.  People fought so that they could celebrate their special days. The Jewish people lit a lamp and it stayed lit for 8 days but it only had oil for one day.  So it was a miracle.

We know that on the first day of Hanukkah you light one candle on the menorah.  

We painted menorahs.

 



  

We made potato pancakes today.  They are called latkes. We ate them. We liked them!
