Miss Karen & Morah Mimi - 2's

We have almost made it to Pesach. The children are very familiar with the Pesach story, the Seder and the Ma Nishtanah. While we talked this week about the preparation for Pesach, we used sponges and cleaned up our classroom.  We mopped the floor, vacuumed the carpet, and washed the kitchen. We made sure there was no chametz. We separated the chametz from the non-chametz foods. They understand now that fruit and  some vegetables are ok to eat on Pesach and that bread and cookies are chametz.  

We got to use our  Pesach figures:  Paroah,  Moshe,  camels , horses and  baby Moshe. We used our felt Pesach props while we sang our songs. 

We brought the plague of frogs to life with our parachute and jumping frogs in and out—filling the room with laughter and big smiles!

We pretended to part the waters with a song and instruments. We danced to a song about Miriam and how she danced with the Jewish people out of Egypt, playing her instruments and tambourines. We enjoyed singing the Dayenu song—Enough, enough, enough! The children are really piecing the story together. They’re even finishing my answers to my questions! Seeing how much they know about the story makes me so happy. I hope they share it with you at home.

We set up a pretend table with all the essentials: 3 matzahs, 4 kiddush cups, 2 candlesticks, and 1 Seder plate.  Plus, we got crafty! Using Pesach stickers, we decorated items for our Pesach book. Your little artists can't wait to show off their creations.

Have a wonderful pesach!  

Shabbat Shalom!
