Chanukah Lapbook Plans…

Postscript:  If you want, you can see how it all turned out!

image Yup, it’s been a while, but I’m hoping to make another lapbook!  Despite the fact that it’s Chanukah, which is one of my least-beloved holidays because, well, the connotations.  “Holiday season” and all that.  Humbug!

Outside links (let me know if you know of others!):

  • Homeschoolshare has a free Chanukah lapbook.  We’re probably not going to use the whole thing, but there are some components I like…
  • Our Jewish Homeschool Blog has a bunch of great ideas for Chanukah in her printable packet here.
  • A few useful ASL signs for Chanukah printable here which could be incorporated into a lapbook or used in some other way.
  • And, of course, there are my own Chanukah printables here.

Here are a few things we’ll be including in our lapbook…

Other ideas I haven’t quite figured out yet:

  • My Chanukah five senses (based on this one)
  • Hebrew vocabulary, maybe based on New Words Flap?
  • popsicle-stick Menorah of some kind…

For the cover, I figure I’ll have Naomi do a handprint menorah picture like this one.  And write a title neatly as well.

We won’t have too much time… we’re finishing up our Frogs science unit this week, and then I figure we’ll do Chanukah for 2 weeks, then work our way up to Human Body, introducing it with an All About Me unit just for fun.

I’m skipping some of the animal units in our Living Learning Science curriculum because if we do them all, we won’t have time to do human body before Pesach.  Believe it or not… it’s not exactly close, but since we’ll have to stop for Purim also, there isn’t THAT much time left in the year!!

(after Pesach, we’ll hopefully pick up the Living Learning Science with PLANTS – and what a great time of year for it!!!)

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
