For my blog post this week, I decided to write about the project we did with the preschool class in celebration of Hanukkah. After reading a story to the class and having a discussion about why we celebrate this holiday, the teacher showed the class a menorah and explained the purpose of it is used during the time of Hanukkah. So, the project was for the class to make menorahs. The lead teacher decided to have to students work in pairs to do this project. Once the kids chose their partners they were given paper plates, aluminum foil, and construction paper. This project entailed a little more work and time than some of the others. The children got a chance to practice cutting with scissors, working with glue, and trying to make various sizes. It actually took two day to complete this project, but the kids liked using the aluminum foil and enjoyed the tin foil. In my opinion, the children did a really good job for a project that had so much detail!!
Materials Needed:
-> Paper Plates
-> Aluminum foil
-> Yellow construction
-> Scissors
-> glue stick
-> Markers
Procedure:
-> Cut the paper plate in half
-> Cut nine small strips of the aluminum foil
-> Use the glue stick to paste the strips of foil onto the paper plate
-> Use the yellow paper to draw the tips of a candle ( let the teacher draw an example for children to reference to)
