Shabbat is here!

 I'm so glad that Shabbat is here!

 Lots of social interaction today in our classroom.

 Circle time

 Today we did some role playing about sharing and taking turns with our friendly puppet, Avi! The children were very excited about it and were listening closely to the messages being expressed.

 With rain in the forecast this morning, we decided to stay safe and went to the playground while it was still dry! We got lots of time to play until it started to rain.

 Helping each other...

 Playing ball together!

Once it started raining we went inside for some ball and Frisbee playing as well as dancing! The children had all sorts of great dance moves and really enjoyed it!

 Our favorite- Shabbat party!

 Shabbat Shalom!

 Baking Aleph Bet cookies! We measured each ingredient and our friends carefully helped us pour them into the bowl.

 Mix, mix, mix!

Using Aleph Bet shapes to shape our cookies! Each child found the letter for their name an used it to make their very own personalized cookie!

Aleph Bet Letters!

 We used the light table with magna tiles and Aleph Bet letters. It was interesting to see how bright the colors look with the light underneath. We also watched how the actual colors of the items kept changing depending on the color of the light! Below is a green light.
