Planting

A planting activity was brought in to introduce the Yeladim to planting. The put their seed- lima bean on a paper towel and sprayed it with lots of water. 

They enjoyed the spraying and found lots of other things to spray. A great water activity for a hot day and a great way to strengthen their fine motor skills. 

The Yeladim put the social skills which were practiced at Friendship Time to good use.
They only sprayed their friends once they asked them if they'd like to be sprayed and if their friend said yes.  The Yeladim know how to listen and respect their friends.




While playing outside, the Yeladim spotted a bumble bee flying by.

Peretz: Yeah, yeah right there!
Benjamin: He's trying to get my head
Hilary: Bug
Benjamin: Where did that bee go?
Peretz: Wow! What happened? Where is he?
Hilary: Bee! Bee back

The Yeladim will keep watering and observing the seeds. Insect related activities will be brought in
to broaden the Yeladim's knowledge of insects.
