Lotsa Latkes



One of the songs from our second grade play is titled "Lotsa Latkes." What better way to bring meaning to the children that by frying lots of latkes in our classroom? Fortunately, Mrs. Morris has a blender recipe and our wonderful parent helpers stopped by to cook. While enjoying the traditional potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, the children also learned about a menorah, and played dreidle with Hershey Kisses gelt!

Once On A Housetop


What a wonderful experience we've had getting ready for and performing our second grade play! Once On A Housetop taught us all something new about the many holidays celebrated in December. And we learned a little something about chimney sweeps as well! Over the weeks we sang songs, danced, and improved our fluency by reading and delivering our lines. When the time came to perform - the kids were outstanding!
