-**Center 1 ART**: the students will go to the art center where they will have 3 various “Hanukkah themed” sheets to color in.
-**Center 2 WRITING**: The students will have worksheets to do “letter traces” on. The sheets will contain the words “menorah”, “Hanukkah”, and “dreidel”-they will have the words written in dotted lines for them to trace over. And then a blank sentence line for them to write the words on their own next to it. For more advanced students they could use the words to write sentences. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">-**Center 3 GAME**: The students will play the dreidel game. Where they use math skills to play the game. At the station they will have one dreidel and each student will have 10 m&ms to play the game. At the start each student will equal amounts of m&ms to start the game. Before each round the students will place 1 m&m (manipulative) in the center of the table. Plays will take turns spinning the dreidel and follow the action of whatever symbol the dreidel lands on. The students will continue to play until one of them has all of the manipulatives. (the teacher will have to supervise this center the most) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Students will get to color and create their own Menorahs. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Closer:** Review what they have learned by filling in the "L" portion of the KWL.
