Not to be left out of the national craze on the new song from the Maccabeats, the Scientist lunch bunch group held a dance party today. What a joyous celebration of Chanukah! Some children knew the lyrics already and others were focused on learning them. Here's the chorus to help the process along.
I flip my latkes in the air sometimes
Sayin ayy ohh spin the dreidel
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights
Singin ayy oh, light the candles
We say al hanissim
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play dreidel
By the candlelight
And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the miracle
Of the candlelight
Avery squeezed the tiny birthday candles into the menorah. Once they were all lined up he was ready to recite the blessings. He lit the shamash and then we sang together as he list the rest of the candles. What a pleasure to see how well the children know the blessings and how much they truly enjoy playing Chanukah at school.
