The Sukkah is up! Ella and Sender sit inside.

Our Sukkah is not finished yet.  We go outside in search of leafy schach.

We see a Sukkah outside!

The children help cut some leaves.

Marnie helps put leaves on the Sukkah.

The children look at pictures of Sukkot.  We see table and chairs inside as well as lots of children.

Using Words and Playing Together

In the spirit of the upcoming festival of Yom Kippur, we have a social circle about turn taking and playing together:

David grabs the toy Dina is playing with.

We tell Dovid that we don't grab.

What can we do instead?

We can use our words.

"Please can i have a turn?"

Dovid holds the timer as he waits for his turn.

See the children play together:

Thank you to Kayle's family for the delicious fruit this week!

Goodbye Rosh Hashanah!

Today we talked about what we did on Rosh Hashanah.  

The children remember that they heard the Shofar in shul, and had apple dipped in honey!

We put all our Rosh Hashanah items in a basket.

And wave goodbye to Rosh Hashanah.

We love you! See you next year!
