Happy holidays! We ended November by learning how to play the real dreidel game with our big buddies. These authentic dreidels are close to Madame's heart because when she was searching the Facebook world last year for a place to buy real dreidels, an amazing Jewish stranger dropped these off at her doorstep and wouldn't accept any money for them. 'Twas a Hannukah miracle that keeps on giving every year! And it turns out that the dreidel game is a lot of fun, especially for the more competitive among us! We also completed the creation of our own dreidels, made out of clay! Our big buddies were super heroes, as usual, and even drew the symbols onto all of our dreidels for us so they're ready to use! Instructions were sent home in our backpacks in case families want to try playing the game together. You can use items like cheerios, raisins, etc while playing, instead of actual coins. And sticking with the Hannukah theme, we worked hard on a directed draw of menorahs. And then along came December 1st, and it's now beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We had fun decorating our door and really taking charge of the project. Madame put up a paper tree and let us do all of the designing from that point on. It wasn't long before glittery ornaments appeared, as well as a trunk and a homemade star! We have started something new in our class called "the kindness cape" (la cape de gentillesse). If Madame catches us doing something kind (without looking for acknowledgment), we get to wear the kindness cape. We've had several friends already get to wear it this week! Bon travail!
