Today’s Activity:
Learn about B’Shvat.
Note:
Today is B’Shvat, a Jewish holiday. This year I’m going to focus on different holidays that we may or may not know about.
Evaluate:
This was a really quick activity. I like teaching my children about other faiths and cultures. Because my only way to look up info is online I don’t necessarily get all the information or even accurate information. Today we ready about B’Shvat on Wikipedia and learned that sometimes on this day they plant a tree and eat dried fruit and nuts. I’m sure there is a lot more to it than that but it got us talking and Max remembered playing dradle with the librarian who is Jewish. After that we helped ourselves to some almonds.
