Busy Little Maccabees in Ganon Aleph

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, Ganon Aleph has shifted into high gear with our Chanukah preparations.  The children are becoming very familiar with the story of the Maccabees and their fight against Antiochus and his soldiers.  They enjoy spending time around our Chanukah discovery table where they do a lot of counting, classifying, problem-solving and socializing.

 They have been busy working on Chanukah projects which will go home in time for the holiday.  Here you can see them sanding down the wood for their chanukiyot, decorating cans to hold the candles, painting their 3-D dreidels, and designing their 4-sided dreidel hangings.

  We have many exciting activities planned for the days leading up to Chanukah as well as for Chanukah week!
