We got to use cool equipment like the olive press machine and a centrifuge. We even tried to light a menorah with the very olive oil that we produced. And it lit!! 🕎 #chanukah #oliveoil #menorah

Happy Chanukah!! After much preparation and antici Happy Chanukah!! After much preparation and anticipation, Chanukah is finally here! We were so excited to see that our pottery Menorahs were ready. The very menorahs that we created by hand from start to finish. What an incredible process. We took a slab of clay and turned it into not only a work of art, but a real and functional menorah. We had put in so much effort and were so proud of the results. We couldn't wait to take the menorah home to light this chanukah with our families. We were also so thrilled to take home all of our special chanukah projects and gifts that we had been working so hard on.  #chanukah #menorah #pottery #projects #gifts #baking #art #dreidel #reggio #happychanukah

Chanukah is almost here! Our excitement keeps buil Chanukah is almost here! Our excitement keeps building as we learn about the upcoming Holiday and its beautiful customs. Our morning centers are filled with lots of chanukah themed provocations and activities for us to explore. We are also well versed in the story of Chanukah by now, and love acting it out. Pretending to be Macabees playing dreidel while hiding in caves always brings lots of laughter and fun. #chanukah #holidaylearning #reggioinspiredpreschool #dreidel
We are back with our Pottery! Yay! We were excited We are back with our Pottery! Yay! We were excited to continue with our Menorah Making for Chanukah!  We discovered that after coming out of the kiln, our clay was not pliable anymore. Our menorahs were now solid! So cool! Our next step in this process was to decorate and seal our masterpieces. We painted a special glaze onto our menorahs. It takes 3 coats to accomplish this goal so we were very busy. 
Now, once again, our menorahs are headed for the kiln. We worked so hard on them and cant wait to see our finished products when they get back! We will be so proud to light our menorahs this Chanukah, the ones that we created from beginning to end with our very own hands. 🤩 #chanukah #menorah #pottery #clay #art #reggio #holidayprep

At Shore Jewish Academy, we know the process is ju At Shore Jewish Academy, we know the process is just as important as the end result. Here we have started the process of Making Menorahs for Chanukah. In our Pottery Class today, we explored, squished and rolled out natural earthen clay. We chose designs and patterns for our menorah and learned cool techniques to implement them. We counted out the correct number of clay pieces needed for the candle holders. We shaped and placed them on our base ever so carefully. We were proud of our meticulous work, however there's more to be done. Our beautiful creations are not yet ready for use. Off to the kiln they go. We will see them again in 2 weeks to continue the process... we cant wait! #pottery #clay #art #artist #reggio #chanukah #experience #learningthruexploration #learningthruexperience
We enjoyed the glorious weather today with a natur We enjoyed the glorious weather today with a nature walk to the beach. It was a complete multisensory experience. Seeing the beautiful view around us and searching for sea shells. Hearing the waves crash against the shore. The smell in the air and the taste of saltiness on our lips. The feel of the sand as we built sand castles and wrote our names in it... There was so much to explore! #reggio #naturewalks #preschool #exploretheworldaroundyou #learningisfun #exploration
