Painting Our Pyramid

Pesach is in the air and in every part of our classroom!

The children traced the
 shape of a triangle. 





In the construction area the children
 helped each other to lift the bricks 
forming a Pyramid. 


At snack time ...


Chana cut the strawberries in triangles.

Today Dalya brought a coin,
she wanted to put it in the Tzedakah box.


We found a nice box. 



Ramps and balls in the sensory table.  


The children observed how the
 ball slid down and waited to catch it all while taking turns.
Simply wonderful.

The children had fun 
panting boxes with brown paint to make 
bricks for us to play and build a 3D Pyramid.





We also used mono printing
 with magnitiles on paper.


At circle the children learned
 a new Pesach song:

" One day king Pharaoh woke up in his bed,
There were frogs on his head and frogs on his bed,
Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toes,
Frogs here, frogs there, frogs were jumping everywhere!"


The children thought it was funny.
Mayer said: " I love frogs."
Akiva and Nissan: " I don't like frogs." "It's yukky."
Chana said: "Why frogs."


We act like frogs and jumped around.
We made sounds of frogs too. 
We enjoyed it so much!


We started to learned the story of Pesach,
every day we are going to learn a bit
 of the story.

We heard the children mentioning
 that Pharaoh is like Haman,


They were listening carefully 
and payed attention to the details.


They didn't like that we worked so hard.


The children were banging with hammers...





Levi: " It's an airplane."


Mendel tried to catch the ball. 



Nissan and Mayer let the ball 
slide down and then switch the 
balls they had before.



A special thanks to Morah Sarah,
the creator of:
My felt story , Exodus.

The children loved it very much!

Mono Painting With Yael


Today we had a very busy day.
We got ready for our Art class with Yael, 
the children loved this lesson its always
 fun and meaningful for us we are
 experiencing with new things.

But before we went to Yael's class we
practice threading and tracing shape line.



Chana and Levi are tracing
 a circle with glass stones.
They were happy to do it: 
"I did it ". 



Akiva and Mayer are threading straw with pipe cleaner.



Nissan started with the threading and said:
"I like it".


Dalya liked the colors of the stones.


Devorah shared her stones with Dalya.



Ido is tracing a different shape ,
a triangle.


The children were practicing
 fine motor skills and follow directions.

Holding hands and walking 
to Art class with Yael...




Levi and Nissan let the ball fall down. 


With a ball... nice work art Mendel.


Mayer and Dalya were laughing so much using a tray.


Chana was getting enthusiastic with the brush.


Akiva loved the pattern with the cookie cutters.


It was sad but... we had to say goodbye to Purim.
We packed our Purim items.


See you next year.


We started to learn about Pessach, Passover,
We asked the children what is our next holiday?

Chana: " Happy Pesach".

We saw the mean king Pharaoh
 and stated to learn the song;
"Mah Nishtanah"

We really loved Purim but can't wait for Pesach.

A group picture.


We danced around to Purim songs.


We also had a school Purim party,
it was fun seeing our friend in school 
dressed up too.

Everyone walked on the red carpet and
told us to what they dressed up as.

So many and different costumes 
made us feel so beautiful.
