HAPPY THANKSGIVIKKUH

As you have all probably heard by now, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah coincided for the first time since 1888! The best part about living through this fun medley of holidays is that it isn't happening again for approximately 77,000 more years! 

Celebrating and learning about Hanukkah in class over the past couple of weeks has been impelling! 
We discussed how Hanukkah is not only a holiday, but it's the festival of light! We rejoice the liberation of the Temple and Jewish people for 8 days. Hanukkah is celebrated for 8 days to signify how the oil that was only suppose to last 1 day miraculously lasted for 8! 

The student created beautiful hand menorahs. They first traced their hands to symbolize the base and candle stick holders of the menorah. Then, the students were able to decorate them with an assortment of art supplies that were generously donated by Danny's mom, Christine - Thank you!! 

After they competed against one another for whose dreidel spins the longest, the kids generated an acrostic poem as a class with facts they found significant about Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah!

    Hi! I am a 19 year old from Providence, Rhode Island and currently studying Elementary Education and Psychology at the University of Rhode Island. 
    Going to the Jewish Community Day School of RI (formally known as ASDS) from kindergarten through 8th grade, being an active member in USY (a jewish teen organization), traveling to Israel, and spending many summers at Camp JORI as both a camper and counselor have all played significant roles in shaping my Jewish identity that I'm proud to have. I hope to make an impact on each and every student and guide them as they begin their journey.
