FROM MISS DEANA
What a busy week we’ve had from mock Sedar to Shabbos party! We jumped right into learning the letter “Jj”. Our Sign Language words are: Jewish, jacket, and jelly. During our morning circle we played “What’s Missing” using shapes (triangle, square, circle, rectangle, diamond, heart, oval, star, octagon, and rhombus). Playing "What's Missing" is a crucial, simple game that strengthens cognitive development by sharpening working memory, focus, and visual discrimination in young children. It boosts language skills, encourages logical thinking, and helps children practice impulse control, making it an effective, low-prep, "brain-stretching" exercise for early development.
Pesach is fast approaching. I showed the children their Haggadah that each child will be making, along with pictures for each step of the Seder. The next few weeks we will be working mostly on several different Pesach projects. If you will be traveling early for Pesach please let me know. I changed our Manipulative table for Pesach activities. We have plague finger puppets, a Seder plate, animal face masks, and wild animals. The children have been practicing the Ma Nishtana every day during davening. In our class the children have been singing “No no no I will not let them go” and “frogs on the bed, and frogs on their heads” needless to say they are getting well prepared for Pesach!
