December Holidays This month we took a trip around the world and learned about how different people celebrate their holidays. We focused on Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. The children enjoyed the story of Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins by Eric Kimmel, finding Israel on the map, and playing the dreidel game. |
