Loren and Hanukka presentation at CNIS






Here is Loren making a 20 min presentation in K2 and P1a, nate and ike's class. He prepared a few nights before by looking through youtube's sesame street and hanukka, did one on the macabees and the miracle of the oil. The menorah, kippas, dreidels and our wedding gift of a 1000 year old oil lamp from Israel came in handy for the presentation, the latkes were a hit too.

We had a PTA meeting before that, that was rather discouraging so this presentation with the kids and their attentiveness and interest (ike's googly eyes at dada) made the day alot better. Many kids asked many good questions, I wished I bought enough dreidels for each of them.

Ike's class in preparation for the Hanukkah talk actually did some coloring and printed out the hebrew characters on the dreidel. Loren taught the kids how to play with the dreidel and the kids followed him in the lighting of the candles. Was very nice.
