The Yeladim enjoyed sorting their colored items and then placing them on the matching colored pallet. We're excited about bringing the colors into a tactile experience on our classroom walls.

Mixing colors through baking
The Yeladim each helped spoon, measure, and mix all the ingredients to make the cookie dough.
Then the Yeladim rolled out logs and we shaped them into their Aleph Bet letter.
When the Yeladim rolled the red and yellow dough together the dough turned ORANGE. The Yeladim find mixing colors each time using a different method fascinating!

What does Red + Yellow = ?
As the Yeladim walked in this morning we set up the experiment to watch throughout the day. Red + Yellow ice cubes what will it make?
Predictions:
Binyamin: "They are going to break (melt :)" - that was definitely true! :)
Zev: "No not any of those colors but I don't know. Maybe a color we don't know. Maybe we can figure it out."
ORANGE water!! As you can tell Zev was very excited about the results!
Marble painting/ color mixing
The Yeladim chose out of the 3 primary colors which ones they wanted to mix in their marble painting and then thoroughly enjoyed watching the marbles roll around, mix, and create a new color and beautiful art!
Zev even asked to do another one :)
Yellow + BlueRed + Blue
Yellow + Red + Blue....Do you know what color that makes? It made a rainbow of all the primary and secondary colors!
Aleph Bet Magnets and Magnetic Board
This new activity was brought into the classroom to further the Yeladim's interaction and familiarity with the Aleph Bet letters. As I was observing I was very impressed and excitedly surprised how David recognised the shape and name of each letter as he sang the song to himself and then arranged them in order!!

Celebrating the Aleph Bet Letters and Shabbat
Today the Yeladim measured , counted and spooned in all the ingredients for the cake.
This was no ordinary cake! The Yeladim each found their letter on the Aleph Bet chart and then we made each of their letters on their own piece out of chocolate chips! This was a very special added treat to our Shabbat celebration.
