A Special Visitor for Hanukkah

We had a special visitor today in the Kohavim class. Molly's grandmother, Barbara Krupat, came in and shared a wonderful Hannukah story with us called, The Hanukkah Trike, by Michelle Edwards. In the story a little girl gets a new tricycle for Hanukkah. When she tries to ride the trike for the first time, she falls off and scrapes her knees. Though she feels afraid, she finds the courage to try riding her tricycle again by remembering the bravery of the Maccabees. After hearing the story, the Kohavim children shared things that they have tried even though they might be challenging or scary. Some of the responses were trying the monkey bars backwards, riding a bicycle, and putting together a hard puzzle. We then danced to music form the CD, ShirLaLa Chanukah. What a wonderful way to start our morning! Thank you to Molly and Barbara for sharing one of their favorite Hanukkah books and music with Kohavim!
