Walking into our room Monday morning we could not have been more thankful to be back at our school, see that everything was safe and we could return back to normal. We were even more excited to see those smiling faces run into the room and greet us with hugs and laughter. We are very happy to see that everyone is back and safe. Our Hanukkah party was a huge success. The children really exceeded our expectations when they stood up in front of you all and sang beautiful songs to all of you. They have worked really hard since they have been back to make their Hannukiot and get ready for the holiday. We were lucky enough to be invited to Room 13 to hear Teacher Hannah tell the story of Hanukkah. We love getting together with other classes to combine our knowledge and get different perspectives on the story of Hanukkah and celebrate with other kids. The children were focused and really involved in listening to how this holiday and its history came to be. We were so lucky to be able to come back up to our school and that the fires stayed away from our campus. Unfortunately, Leo Baeck Temple was not as lucky. They did not receive any damage, but there is a lot of clean up that needs to be done. Our ECC welcomed them with open arms and an open classroom so they could still have their children come to school. Room 9 invited the class to come light the Hannukiah, sing some songs and enjoy snack together. It was a really nice experience for both the teachers and the children. We hope you have a Happy Hanukkah and the light of this holiday reminds us about how lucky we are and to look at all the blessings we have together Enjoy your break and we can’t wait to see you in the new year!
