Life With Ella

Today was our last Chanukah family share day as a Leaping Lizard family.  This is sad for us because we love Alicia so much and never want to leave her class, but we must just be in the here and now, one day at a time and enjoy each day that Ella has in preschool.  The family share was a lot of fun.  We shared about Chanukah.  Sunny told the Chanukah story, I read a book that I worked so the kids could say the same line at the end of each page.  The interactive reading got them excited about the dreidels.  After the story, Ella went to the front of the class to explain the Hebrew letters on the dreidels.  The class was then each given their own dreidel.   Ella did a great job teaching – check out the video.  And the class did a great job listening and playing dreidel together in 3 groups.  We all had a lot of fun.  Tonight, Sunny had to go to a board meeting and I had to volunteer at Ella’s school so we didn’t have our first night of Chanukah together.  Instead, I lit the candles with Ella and then Sunny and Ella opened their gifts together.  Mom – it was great talking to you today – you sound great.  Hang in there.  Relax as much as you can.  Love you. The dry erase board. Ella at circle time. Ella and me lighting the candles.
