What is The Story of Hanukkah Cards?
⌄
Four pages of cards, two per page: a title card and seven story cards that retell the history of Hanukkah. The cards are The Temple, King Antiochus, The Maccabees (led by Judah), Cleaning the Temple, A Little Oil, Eight Nights and Hanukkah Today, each with two or three sentences.
Can I use The Story of Hanukkah Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 2nd Grade to 5th Grade Hanukkah resources are there?
⌄
4 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Hanukkah resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Hanukkah resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
