Week of 11/26

Hello Sky Room Families!
 
We had another fun-filled week in the Sky Room! We are currently learning all about the different holiday’s celebrated during this time of year. This week, we focused on Hanukkah! Here are a few highlights of the exciting activities we have been doing this week:
 
Classroom Activities:

• We decorated Star of David made out of popsicle sticks. Using blue and white paint mixed with glue, we painted our popsicle sticks that were in the shape of a Star of David. For a finishing touch, we added on some silver and gold gems!
• We marble painted our own dreidels! Using we used marbles and paint while holding a tray with our dreidels inside, to create a marbled effect.
• We practiced our lacing skills using string and wooden animals
• Using “kid-friendly" scissors, we practiced our cutting — and even started to cup materials up to work on our very special Winter Benefit Auction project!

 
Songs We Sang:

• “November Song"

• “Travelin Turkey”
• “Happy Hannukah!"

• If You Take A Mouse to the Movies, by Laura Numeroff
• My Two Holidays: A Hannukah and Christmas Story, by Danielle Novack

We hope you have a great weekend,
