Chanukah in Kindergarten - Part 2

Parshat Vayigash

Last week's Parsha left all of  kindergarten on the edge of our seats! Yosef had his brothers in front of him begging to spare Binyomin's life. But they had no idea who he was, and he didn't tell them!! What was going to  happen??!!??
In this week's Parsha, Yosef reveals himself to his brothers and tells them that he forgives them. He didn't tell them right away who he was, because he wanted to make sure that they had done Teshuva (repentance) for the mistake they made.  
Ask your child to show and tell you what the right thing to do is, in order to fix a mistake? 
( when you say sorry, say it like you mean it!)

He gave his brothers' gifts and sent them back to their home. Yosef told his brothers " tell my father I am alive and bring him down to Mitzrayim (Egypt) where it will be good for you to live."

Family Chanukah Party

The scavenger hunt we did was so fun!
Max and his Mommy worked together as a team to figure out the clues!


Elizabeth and Levi Yitzchak portrayed scared Jews reacting to the Greek decree.

Kindergarten know how to act like Maccabees!
Because we practice Stopping and Thinking before we Talk.


Our Maccabee Shields remind us how to be a Maccabee!


Kindling a Love of Learning on Chanukah- Dreidle Math!

Menucha and Elizabeth spun their dreidels, 
marking the tally on a graph of the letters it landed on!
We learned a new sound ! ג 
We're going! We're going! Guh, Guh, Guh

and many more sounds as well!!

 Yisroel and Elizabeth deliberate over which card to choose 
in this Chanukah Matching game.

Putting it All Together. Creativity needed!


We had to use different shapes to make a Chanukah picture. 
Everyone was so creative!

 Proud of all our accomplishments, from this fun challenge!


Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

 We were so lucky to have celebrated Elizabeth's birthday on the first day of Chanukah!
She turned 6! May she go from strength to strength in every aspect of her life!
she invited both classes to join in her Simcha!

Birthday gifting!

In honor of her birthday, 3 new fish joined our aquarium!
The Moriarity Family also sponsored new filters for our fish friends.
