More Purim preps!

We had a great time learning and reviewing the story of Purim with the help of very fun puppet friends. Once we knew the story and miracles well, we moved on to creating our very own Megilla! We are almost done preparing the whole thing. Painting every page is loads of fun. We will be sending the Megillas home at the end of the week for everyone to be able to share it with their families over the Purim holiday. ENJOY!





SHOW AND TELL FROM ISRAEL

As a preparation for our special show and tell items from or about Israel, we read a book about our friend named Yehuda. Yehuda lives in Israel and also does show and tell there. He had a special story to tell us, and we learned a great lesson from it. Yehuda also sent special Alef Beis crayons as a gift to every friend in Kindergarten. What a fun Friday!









WOW!!

JUST WANTED TO SHARE A PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL ACT OF CHESSED/KINDNESS I SPOTTED IN MIDDLE OF THE PLAYROOM!

Daniel O.'s Birthday!




Happy 6th Birthday to Daniel! Daniel's parents came and joined in the birthday celebration. We baked a cake, sang Happy Birthday, gave tzedakah and the class had the opportunity to each give Daniel a special birthday wish. What a fun day!

Literacy Fun Day!




To close Literacy Month we had Literacy Fun Day! The children brought in their pajamas, blankets and pillows and read bedtime stories and discussed the importance of having a bedtime routine. We also talked about the importance of reading every day. Some of the children even brought in some of their favorite books for Morah Dawn to read. After snuggling with a few good books, we had the opportunity to sing songs and color pictures. We had such a nice time! This month has taught us how important reading is and how much fun it could be. Thank you to the parents that came to read to our class! We truly enjoyed your visit!

Literacy Month Comes to an End



Manuella's mommy came to read to our class! She read one of Manuella's favorite books, Snow White! After reading the book, the children were given an illustration from the book to color. What an exciting day!



Nina's Daddy came to visit and read the class 2 books, Ziggy's Fine Coat and Leo the Late Bloomer. The books each had a very important lesson to be learned. The children had the opportunity to talk about it with each other. We love having our Mommy's and Daddy's come read to us!
