Thursday's Thinking By Danny

Today was a fantastic day! In math we learned about parallel lines. They are lines that will never ever ever ever ever cross. Some examples of lines are : in a square, a rectangle, on our notebook paper, and train tracks! We also learned about Hanukkah today also known as Chanukkah. We read a story called, "Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins" by Eric Kimmel. Hanukkah is the festival of lights. Jewish people celebrate for 8 days. They light candles on the menorah, starting with the shammesh candle. They eat latkes and play dreidel games. They also celebrate with prayers, gifts and songs!

More tomorrow!
