Jack be Nimble

Jack be nimble,

Jack be quick!

Jack jumped over 

the candlestick!

Thank you to all parents who helped bring in candles for this activity.  After introducing this nursery rhyme, we worked to sort the assortment of candles donated once by color, then by size and shape and also texture. We had a great time coming up with all the different ways. We also took pictures to create a class book where each student jumped a candle or set of candles. This book will be ready after break to be taken home and shared.

This group sorts the candles by color

After reading Papa's Latkes, a Hanukkah story about the holiday traditions, students were asked to follow a series of directions given by the teacher where they needed to color, circle or add drawings to the featured Hanukkah traditions on the page. We are always working to improve our listening and following direction skills in Pre-K.
