Hanukkah

We celebrated the start of Hanukkah this year with plate of deep-fried goodness and endless rounds of the dreidel game. We also had class present/surprise each morning for the eight days of Hanukkah, ranging from a class puzzle to a ‘Sit Any Where You Like Day’. A nice way to celebrate cultural diversity in the classroom. And to eat donuts.

Easter Baskets

Combine your science unit on living things and life cycles with that well-loved festival of new growth otherwise known as Easter. Students fill their pot with soil and grass seeds and graph the growth of their sprouts over the following days. Send home filled with mini chocolate eggs ready for the Easter break.
