Shabbat Before Winter Break

Winter break is on its way,

and today we celebrated Shabbat 

with all our friends in school.

The celebration lets the children

have more fun with their friends

before winter break. 

We had fun decorating our Challah bag 

with stamps.

Nissan is one of our singers, he held 

Devorahs hand and sang with  Ido and Dalya

"KOL GADOL".

We loved that very much.

We baked Challah Lichvod Shabbat Kodesh.

The children put in a lot of effort

rolling the dough.

The children played together, 

we could feel they are going to 

miss their friends. 

They played in a pleasant way.

We had our last Shabbat party before

 winter break.

Devorah was the Ima of Shabbat 

and lit the candles, 

Akiva recited the brachah on the wine,

and Mayer said the brachah on the bread.

We are so proud of them that they are doing things by 

themselves.

Group hug before winter break!

Have a lovely vacation with your families.

See you soon, 

Shabbat Shalom...

Saying Goodbye to Chanukah

Today  we introduced a new activity 

for the children in class.

Now that all of excitement of Chanukah is over,

we want to practice our color sorting skills. 

A small challenge...

Dvorah and Ido matched the rubber bands

to the right color.

 

Chana thought it was funny.

Nissan thought to wear them on 

his own hand like a bracelet.

Akiva, Nissan, Devorah and Ido 

like to thread beads like a necklace.

We talked about the upcoming 

winter break.

We explained to the children that its a long

 vacation with our families,

and we are not going to meet 

our friends in school.

 The children played nicely with their friends,

they enjoyed it and they are going to miss 

each other them so much.

Today we also had to say goodbye to 

CHANUKAH!!!

Everyone helped to put away all the different

Chanukah items.

Levi brought a Chanukah book.

Mayer brought a Menorah into the basket.

Dalya brought a big dreidel.

Devorah brought another Chanukah book.

Chana brought the candles.

We all were very sad to say goodbye to 

our lovely Chanukah,

we waved and said :

Bye until next year.

Last Day Of Chanukah

Last day of Chanukah!

The children kept learning about 

this special holiday, enjoying the Chanukah 

activities. 

The children know how to count

the candles on our Menorah, the 

story of Chanukah, and Chanukah symbols.

Dreidel is their favorite game.

Nissan made a dreidel,

Mendel made a Menorah.

Chana tried to make the same pattern 

as the one in the picture.

Outside in the play ground, the children 

met their friends and were happy to 

play an imaginative game.

  

Silly with friends.

Chana, Levi and Dalya calling 

Mayer to come out.

Almost the end of Chanukah....

We could feel this holiday in every way.

The most beautiful things are to light the

Menorah, see the light come out

and makes our class so bright....

The children saw the Menorah lit with

8 Candles ... it made a lot of light,

they were fascinated.

.

They absolutely loved Chanukah!!!

We sang Chanukah songs, we were 

so happy .

Sharing Our Chanukah Experience

It is almost the eighth day of Chanukah!!!

The children enjoyed another activity 

making a Menorah before Chanukah ends. 

We created candles from woodstike

and decorate them.

We used the candles later today for anther

activity. 

Today we introduce to the children 

The Goo.

We made our own goo with 2 ingredients.

Akiva and Nissan added the ingredients.

Here our new Goo- magical 

and interesting at the same time.

The children loved it.

We stretch it... we roll it... we punch it...

It can be what ever they want.

Ido stretched it wide.

Devorah rolled it and tried to 

keep it in one piece.

Mendel observed until he was ready

to try.

Look at Chana enjoying it very much.

Today David came to visit us for 

the whole day. The children were 

happy to see him and gave him hugs.

David told the story of Chanukah and asked 

his friends some questions like:

What's the name of the mean king?

Where does H'shem live? 

Chana said: "Antiochus."

Everyone answered Bait Hmikdash.

We used our candles to build the

 Menorah, each one on their own 

added a new candle. 

We sang Chanukah songs with David. 

Right after we shared with friends 

our family pictures from Chanukah.

Lighting the Menorah with family.

The children were looking around ,

finding their family picture while 

explaining and naming their family 

members.

They were so excited to share 

it with  their friends.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures.

Thank you Dalya for being our family 

fruit this week.
