Stamping and pattern

Today the children did stamping

and pattern making.

They had several shapes

to work with and 2 colors, blue and yellow.

Mayer started with the circle.

Nissan used the semi-circle.

Dalya and Devorah created

several patterns.

The children worked on their gross

motor skills and balance

by walking stump

to stump. They wanted

to do it over and over.

We sang "The color song":

I like red, I like red....

The children picked items

from the mystery bag

and matched it to the

color. Friends helped

each other.

The children all practiced

cooking skills. Some worked

as chefs.

Chana took good 

care of her baby.

Levi wanted everyone to 

wear the chef hat.

Thank you to Levi for being 

the fruit family.

Drawing with cars

Today we combined two of our favorite things,

cars and drawing.

This result was a beautiful masterpiece and

lots of fun.

This simple play will encourage them to 

make patterns, shapes, and their physical development.

The children liked the idea right away.

Every car has a different color from 

the primary colors.

Our project yesterday  was hanging on the door.

They are sorting tunnels.

The color drop

Ido and Akiva sorting together.

Chana liked it so much.

Nissan and friends were working on 

sorting colors together.

Nissan made a big tower.

Levi succeeded in sorting it too.

Dalya and Chana helping each other

cut our fruit for snack.

This is the way we wash our

 hands before snack.

We kept working on colors at circle.

We point to 2 colors and asked the children

to build a tower from small beads.

Dalya  built a nice tower.

Chana showed her friends what she made.

We were having a great day,

Akiva and Dalya are playing hide and seek

inside the colorful tunnel. 

Work in progress

The children are making a lot of progress

in getting to know the primary colors.

As we learned more about these colors:

Red, blue and yellow

we see more and more objects and things

that where we notice the different colors,

like the sky is blue, the sun is yellow

the truck is blue ....

We started working on a little

 project and we painted the

 cardboard rolls.

Ido was excited with the blue color.

Devorah chose yellow and gently painted

the roll.

Dalya picked the red color and painted 

the whole roll.

Even Mayer helped paint our little project.

What a wonderful way to play with friends.

Akiva, Mayer and Ido put the tracks together.

Akiva is curious checking the ears

of his friends with the auto-scope. 

Nissan and friends are having fun .

Today we decided to do circle outside.

With the wonderful weather our colorful

parachute looked bright. 

Devorah picked an item from the bag 

and matched it to the same color on the parachute. 

Chana matched her yellow item too.

After lunch there is always time for reading.

The library was busy.

Invitation to cut

Cutting, cutting, cutting.....

 We are practicing our

cutting skills with scissors. 

It is a process to work with the children

how to use them correctly.

Why do children need to learn to 

fringe/ cut with scissors?

Scissor skills are important 

pre- writing skills because 

they help strengthen hand muscles.

Cutting teaches the children how

to use their two hands together, 

and develops bilateral coordination. 

The children were very excited 

to use the scissors.

Here are some cutting examples, 

Today we noticed the children were 

playing together so nicely 

all in the same center.

WOW.

,

Today we also used a new material 

instead of playdough.

We used sand and shaving cream,

it came wet and smushy.

After playing in the play ground 

we had a picnic outside.

It was a beautiful day we 

wanted to enjoy the warm sun.

We enjoyed eating and hearing 

a story.

Thank you Devorah for being 

the fruit family this week.
