Question for parents: (please respond with a comment)
Caroline wants you to guess what you think Julia's mouse is named...
Xander wants to know; what do you think are some of the foods eaten for Hanukkah?
Izzy wants to know; How much ground could a ground hog hog if a ground hog could hog ground?
Jane wants to know; How many candles are on the menorah? Eight or Nine?
*Giggle moment*
Zach kept saying the number twelve with a very southern accent!
It was very funny when Mattie beat Zach during around the world!
I think Julia's mouse is named "Mr. Greyfur Whisker Twitcher."
ReplyDeletePotato Laktes or pancakes are a very traditional food for Hanukah. Many Hanukah foods are fried in oil, to symbolize the oil that burned for 8 days.
Enough to do what he needed to.
Typically a menorah has 8 candles, one for each night. However, I think some of an additional place to hold the Shamash or helper candle, so that would be a total of 9.
I think Julia's mouse's name might be mousey! :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll give you a hint about the name of Julia's mouse. His name has something to do with the type of food that he likes to eat.
ReplyDeleteWe love reading the blog. It's so much fun to know what is going on in the classroom on a daily basis!
