Morah Raizel - TK

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.

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 children colored Yonah and fish puppets and made the project their own by adding all of the necessary characters and props to their collection.  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.
