A Hanukkah Lesson with a Tasty Spinning Treat

Mrs. Cappilouto with her grandson, Charlie Sommer

by: Michelle Roark, first grade teacher

Corrine Cappilouto, past faculty member and Saint James School Grandparent Club officer, shared the story of Hanukkah with 1st grade students this week. She brought menorahs from home and explained their significance. She taught us how to play dreidel, and even brought each student little dreidels with a copy of the rules so they can teach their families and play at home. She also showed us how to make a edible dreidel using marshmallows, pretzels, and chocolate kisses. Our students had a great time learning the story of Hanukkah and playing (and eating!) their dreidels. #WeAreSaintJamesSchool

First graders enjoyed making and eating their dreidels!
