8 . BEACON NEWSPAPER, February 4,2010 Babylon pride abounds during homecoming celebration Deer Park p re-k students celebrate Festival o f Lights Deer Parks Abraham Lincoln pre kindergarten students experienced the diversity o f the holiday season by participating in traditional Hanukkah activities. Students helped teachers cook potato latkes and placed wooden candles in a m enorah. Identifying the ingredients needed to prepare latkes, students learned how food is transform e d from a solid to a liquid (through cutting, mixing and blending) and watched the conversion of ingredients back to a solid when the latkes were poured into a pan and cooked on a stove. After enjoying their latkes, the children sang a special Hanukkah song, counting the number of candles on the menorah.
