Miss Karen & Morah Mimi

 This week we started learning about the birthday of the trees.When the Jews were in the desert, Hashem gave them Mann and instructed them not to leave any over for the next day - except before shabbat, when a double portion fell. Some people tried to test Moshe by leaving mann out on Shabbat to make it look likehis words weren't true.  the birds came and ate that mann early so there was no mann out on shabbat. As a thank-you we show gratitude to the birds by feeding them on Shabbat Shira that is why we did our bird feeder project which were sent home yesterday. We talked about what lives on a tree, such as birds and squirrels. We also talked about how fruit comes from trees, like apples and oranges.

We also did tree handprints in our classroom. As well as painting on actual tree branches. Our classroom is currently filled with nature things to go along with our tree theme.

We are all learning how to use our words instead of grabbing things from our friends’ hands. Instead, we remind the children to ask “can I use it when you’re done?” We give them the words to use because they may not have them.
