Esther and the Feast of Purim

Queen Esther and Haman

You've gotta' love the beard! :)

A couple of weeks ago we read the book of Esther. At co-op H and B learned about the Feast of Purim. H is dressed as Queen Esther. B is dressed as Haman. They made "noise makers" so that they could make noise every time Haman's name was mentioned in the reading of the story. They also made hamantaschen with apricot preserves in the middle. It was a fun week of learning for all of us.
