CHANUKAH AND LETTER SHIN

Nursery 2 has learned a new letter. The new letter is SHIN. Our friend Shaina starts with the letter SHIN. Morah taught us that on Chanukah the helper candle used to light the other candles starts with the letter shin also. It is called the shamash.0

 Our class spent a lot of time discussing the new holiday coming up- Chanukah. We learned all about the story about Judah and the Maccabees and how they protected the Jewish people from the mean King Antiochus. who didn't allow the Jewish people to do mitzvot or learn Torah or daven to hashem. This made the jewish people feel sad. They didnt want to listen to king antiochus and would trick them by playing the game of dreidal when the Greeks would come and check to make sure they werent doing mitzvot or learning torah. All they saw was them playing with their dreidals. 

We have been spending time making prjects and singing songs getting ready for your recital coming up on friday- we cant wait to see you all!
