Dipping Candles

First graders have studied how children lived long ago. In November room 4 continued our study by making candles. All first graders dipped string wicks in hot wax. Room 4 appreciated parent volunteers who heated and supervised the hot wax. Each child took home a hand dipped candle. Our class agreed this was fun at first, but having to dip for 20-30 minutes to make one candle taught us it was also hard work! If your family needed candles to see at night, many candles would be needed!!!
