Learning about Hanukkah

Today we read the book Lots of Latkes and learned about the holiday Hanukkah.  Teacher Lori brought in a menorah to show us how she lights the candles each night of Hanukkah and we helped her make potato pancakes (latkes) - Hannukah tradition.  We helped mix up the potato mixture and she fried up the latkes.  We got to try one with either applesauce or ketchup.  Roxie's daddy even stopped by to sample one too!  After lunch we played the dreidel game and each got chocolate Hanukkah gelt to take home.
