To Judith's house we go!
[GIGGLES] Ruff!
[DING DONG] Super Readers!
Hi, Judith!
HAP-PY CHANUKAHHHHHH!
[GIGGLE] Happy Chanukah to you!
Come on in!
This is my first Chanukah celebration.
Oh, good!
I can show you everything about Chanukah.
Let's go celebrate!
Judith, why do you celebrate Chanukah?
Well, a long time ago, there was a group of people who had a super big problem.
[RED GASPS!]
Oh, no!
It was dark.
Very dark.
Too dark to see!
[GASP!]
Couldn't they turn on the lights?
No!
There were no lights.
They did have an oil lamp, but only a teensy weensy bit of oil for it... only enough to make light for just one night!
[GASP!]
Just one night?
That's it?
Uh huh.
And then, they would be in the dark!
So they put the oil in the lamp, and after one night, they waited for the light to go out and everything to get dark... [WOOFSTER WHINES] But, the oil lamp stayed lit!
For one night... then another night... then another night...
[GASP!]
Whoa!
That teensy bit of oil?
Ruff!
Yes!
That teensy bit of oil made light for eight whole nights!
They couldn't believe it!
It was a miracle!
[EXCITED CHATTER] To celebrate that miracle, every Chanukah, we light a menorah, like this, for eight nights.
Will we be able to light the menorah?
[LAUGHS] Yes, Alpha Pig, but not yet!
First... we play... ...the dreidel game!
This is a dreidel.
There are letters on each side.
Ooh, I've never seen letters like those before... And I love letters.
Those are Hebrew letters!
So, we have our dreidel... and chocolate coins....
[GASP!]
Chocolate coins?
Hoo-ooo!
Sounds yummy!
Where are they?
They're...
um...hey!...
Uh oh.
I don't have any chocolate coins!
How can we play dreidel now?
♪♪♪ Alpha Pig... to the rescue!
With my Amazing Alphabet Tools I can build the word COINS and make chocolate coins for the dreidel game.
Will YOU help me?
You will?
KIDS: Yes!
Alphabetastic!
ABC, sing with me!
♪ Abcdefg.
♪ ♪ Hijklmnop.
♪ ♪ Qrs.
And tuv.
♪ ♪ Wxy and z.
♪ ♪ Sing with me.
♪ Amazing alphabet singing!
Okay, the first letter in the word coins is 'c'.
Where's the 'c'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 'c'!
Now we need the letter 'o'.
Where is the 'o'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 'o'!
Now where's the letter 'i'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 'i'!
Now where's the letter 'n'?
KIDS: There!
There's that nifty 'n'.
The last letter in the word COINS is 's'.
Where's the 's'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 's'!
C-O-I-N-S.
Coins!
Lickety letters!
We found the letters in the word 'coins' so we can play our dreidel game!
Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up!
Thanks, Alpha Pig.
Let's play!
Yay!!
Cool!
Ooh, splendid!
Yay, this is gonna be great!
Ruff!
[GIGGLES] First, we spin the dreidel and see what letter it lands on.
[GASP!]
It landed on the Hebrew letter 'hey' - that means I get to take half the chocolate coins!
Hee-hee-hee!
Okay, Princess Presto, it's your turn.
Cool!
Ooh, this is the Hebrew letter 'shin'.
'Shin' means put one in!
Okay, bye-bye little chocolate coin, into the pot!
My turn!
Oh, ho-ho-ho!
That's the Hebrew letter 'gimmel'!
'Gimmel' means you get all the coins!
All of the coins?
I love this game!
Soooooo, can we eat the chocolate part now?
Well, maybe just one.
ALL: Mmm... Yum.
Mmm-mmm...Yum.
[GASP!]
Is it time to light the menorah now?
Not yet... because after the dreidel game, I always help my mom... Make latkes!
All right!
Let's make latkes!
Uhhh....what are 'latkes'?
Woofster... to the rescue!
With my doggie dictionary I can tell you what any word means!
Latkes.
Latkes are potato pancakes made out of potatoes, flour, eggs and oil.
Latkes!
Now we know what it means.
Woof-de-doo!
Give your tail a wag!
[pants] To the kitchen to make latkes!
Don't forget to look for Super Letters.
[SUPER LETTERS TWINKLE] You see Super Letters?
Which ones?
KIDS: R!
T!
O!
R, T, O?
Oh yeah!
Let's put them in our Super Duper...
KIDS: Computer!
Seven more Super Letters and then we'll get our Super Story Answer!
Super job, Super Readers!
Come on!
Okay, for the latkes we've got flour, eggs, potatoes, and... wait, ooh, we still need oil.
Why do we need oil?
We cook the latkes in oil, because it helps us remember the oil that lasted for - [GASP!]
EIGHT NIGHTS!
I love that part.
But... oh no, we don't have any oil!
[GASP!]
How will I cook the latkes?
♪♪♪ Wonder Red to the rescue!
With my Wonder Words Basket I can find the word OIL so we can make latkes!
Let's read this word.
What is this letter?
KIDS: 'F'!
'F!'
And what sound does 'f' make?
KIDS: /f/.
/f/.
And this says 'oil'.
'F'- 'oil'.
What does this word say?
KIDS: Foil!
Foil is an 'oil' word.
Waaaaaait a minute... Foil is an 'oil' word.
So to make the word OIL, all we need to do is take away the 'f'!
Now what word is this?
KIDS: Oil!
Oil!
Wonderiffic, you are terrific!
We found the word OIL and now we have oil for the latkes!
We're ready to cook!
Stand back everyone.
[HUMMING] PRINCESS: Smells yummy!
RED: Mmmmm!
[GASP!]
Now is it time to light the menorah?
Let's go see!
[GIGGLING] [HUMMING] [SUPER LETTERS TWINKLE] You see Super Letters?
Which letters did you find?
KIDS: D!
N!
I!
S!
D, N, I, S. Oh yeah, let's put them in our Super Duper...
KIDS: Computer!
Three more Super Letter... and then we'll get our Super Story Answer!
Nice work, Super Readers!
Is it time to light the menorah now?
[GASPS] Well... it's dark outside!
So... yes!
It's time to light the menorah!
[PANTING] Woof-de-doo!
It's menorah time!
Woof!
Okay, so...
This is the shamash - the helper candle.
We use it to light all the other candles.
How nice that it helps!
Just like we help.
Yeah!
And because tonight is the last night of Chanukah, we need eight more candles, one for each night!
Uh oh.
We don't have any more candles!
Oh my peas!
[GASP!]
Look at my story!
We can't light the menorah if we don't have any more candles!
But... we've been waiting the whole story for this part!
What are we going to do?
Super Why... to the rescue!
With the power to read, I can change this story and save the day!
Let's change the word 'no' in this sentence.
Zzzzap!
Why Writer... write!
Super Readers.
How many more candles does Judith need for the last night of Chanukah?
'Two', 'eight', or 'five'?
Let's try 'eight'.
Where's the word 'eight'?'
It starts with an 'e'.
KIDS: There!
There!
Zzzap!
Zzap!
Let's read.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
That's what I need, eight candles!
Did the word 'eight' help Judith get enough candles for the menorah?
KIDS: Yes!
Yes!
Super job, Super Readers!
We changed the story and saved the day!
Let's light the menorah!

Something special that people do together year after year.
On Chanukah, we have lots of traditions!
Yeah!

And making latkes.

T-R-A- D-I-T-I- O-N-S.
Traditions!
The Super Story Answer is 'traditions'.
But, why?
Because every year Judith and her family celebrate Chanukah with special traditions - like playing the dreidel game, cooking latkes, and lighting the menorah.
So my question is: What do we do to celebrate Chanukah?
And your answer is: ALL: Traditions!
Now that we know some Chanukah traditions, we can celebrate with Red and her Gramma!
Come on, everyone, let's go to Red's party!
Well hello, everyone!
Welcome to our Chanukah celebration!
[OVERLAPPING] Thanks!
Oh my peas!
Oh, my!
Mmmm, latkes.
Yeah, and you cook them in oil to remember, the oil lamp that burned for eight days!
It's a tradition.
And so is lighting the menorah.
And playing dreidel.
They're all Chanukah traditions!
You know what my favorite Chanukah tradition is?
Being with my family... and my very best friends on a special day.
Happy Chanukah, everyone!
