From Miss Deana
I hope you all had a safe and happy Rosh Hashana. This week, the children enjoyed creating their own glue collages! They practiced squeezing glue bottles, using just the right amount of glue, and carefully placing different materials onto their artwork. This activity is a wonderful way to strengthen fine motor skills, hand muscles, hand eye coordination, while encouraging creativity and self-expression. The children were excited to make their own unique collages and enjoyed seeing their ideas come to life!
For Science our little scientists had fun making honey cake muffins! The children helped measure, pour, mix, and observe how the different ingredients came together to create something delicious. This hands-on activity encouraged sensory exploration, early math skills, following directions, and scientific thinking. The children were excited to watch their mixture transform as it baked.
Judaic News:
This week the children enjoyed learning the story of Yonah and the Big Fish! After hearing the story, they used watercolors to decorate their own big fish puppets. This creative activity encouraged the children to express their ideas while practicing fine-motor skills, color recognition, and hand-eye coordination. The children had so much fun bringing the story to life with their colorful puppets!
Important Reminders:
Please take a second and write your child a mitzvah note. We read them daily at davening.
Please don’t send toys to class books are always welcome
Please make sure your child has a water cup daily
Good Shabbos,
From Morah Estee
I hope you all had an enjoyable Rosh Hashanah. The children were excited to share their experiences on Monday. During circle time, the children each had a turn to share what they did to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. The children had so much to share; I wish we had had enough time to just talk about Rosh Hashanah for twenty minutes. Tashlich: We took a trip to the koi pond at the entrance to the school and did the tashlich ceremony by throwing all of our mistakes into the water. Yom Kippur: The children learned about why and how we celebrate Yom Kippur. The major story that we discussed was the story of Yonah and the big fish. The story of Yonah teaches us the power of teshuva, returning to our true selves, and the fact that even if we did not do the right thing, we are allowed to fix it. Wishing you and your family a gmar chatima tova, a meaningful Yom Kippur, and an easy fast.
