Hanukkah

A child and teacher using a shamash to light a candle on a menorah

We focused on learning about and celebrating Hanukkah in Casa! We learned how to play the Dreidel game and the rules associated with which side the Dreidel falls on, and what each Hebrew symbol represents. We read stories and learned about the traditions, foods, and meanings involved in this holiday some of our friends celebrate. We used the shamash (middle candle) on our menorah to light one candle on each of the 8 days of Hanukkah.
