Kwanzaa & Monster Squeeze


Today we learned about the holiday of Kwanzaa!   From our stories we learned that the candles that use in their celebration are black, red, and green because these are the colors on the African flag.   We also learned that they make their gifts to give each other, rather than buy gifts.  After our stories, we created noodle necklaces with those same colors and talked about how this would make a great homemade gift for someone!  The kiddos loved making them!




In math we are learning how to play the "Monster Squeeze" game to work on our teen numbers and the concept of more and less.  The kids love it!  I will be sending home a version of the game to play at home over Christmas!
