As we rushed through America's December holidays we learned about similarities and differences between Dawali, Hanukkah, Las Posadas and Christmas. One commonality we discovered was the use and importance of candle light. Here, Emma, Levi, Max Carina and Alexa built a Kwanzaa Kinara. A seven candle apparatus with three red, three green and one higher black candle. Kindergarten asked some very insightful questions about Kwanzaa: does Kwanzaa celebrate a miracle like Hanukkah, is the middle candle the Kwanzaa shamish? Can we celebrate Kwanzaa, Christmas and Hanukkah at the same time?
