Hanukka, and Kwanzaa
Other Children don't Celebrate Christmas. An unbelievable concept to understand. However, we talked about the fun traditions they do during this holiday. The children in preschool took turns lighting the nine candles on the menorah, and played the traditional "Spinning the Dreidel" game. We had pretend Latkes, (pancakes) for snack, and with two triangles figured out how to make a "Star of David".
Kwanzaa we learned was a lot like Thanksgiving. Like Hanuka, Kwanzaa has 7 candles that is lit every night. We made a "fruit bowl" with the traditional colors of Black, Red, and Green which we glued to a traditional Kwanzaa mat. Unlike Christmas, The children who celebrate Kwanzaa, dress in their bright native African clothing. We had a fruit basket full of oranges, apples, pears, and bananas, and cut them up to eat.
