Building A Sukkah

Sukkot is in the air and we started building 

a sukkah right after Yom Kippur.

We invited the children to explore and create

their own Sukkah.

 We used strews and play dough. 

Riva was rolled the play dough

 into a ball to hold the corners.

Mendel and Rafi were intrigued too.

Mendel added visitors to our Sukkah.

On the mat Riva was building a Sukkah from Legos.

We went for our first walk to look for a Schach.

We brought a scissors and a basket.

Yeah... we found Schach.

Rafi and Zalman covered the Sukkah.

Mendel and Riva invited guests to sit inside.

Rafi tested it to make sure everything was good. 

We also made a Sukkah from felt.

The children enjoyed it very much.

Outside the classroom we saw many Lulav's and Etrog's.

We touched and smelled them.

Thank you Riva for being The fruit family this week!

Baking A Honey Cake For Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur Is The Holiest Day of The Year.

The children were getting ready for this day.

We start our day by painting on the easel:

"Let's paint a Talit."

Riva was so excited to paint a Talit 

because her Daddy has one too.

Mendel and Zalman saw the Talit and painted it too.

Then we set the ingredients to bake 

our honey cake.

Riva added the sugar.

Mendel added the flour. 

And Rafi added the flour and egg.

We mixed the dough to a nice and smooth consistency,

We took turns mixing. 

A moment from our morning circle:

David came to visit us and told us all about 

saying "sorry".

Yes David wears a Talit.

HAVE G'MAR CHATIMAH TOVH.

Shabbat Shalom With Friends

Shabbat in our class is always fun,

and we can feel the spirit of Shabbat

coming and feel happy to celebrate at the 

Shabbat party.

The children decorated their Challah bag.

Rafi used the dot markers.

Riva used 2 colors together.

 Zalman And Mendel splashed the paint beautifully.

In honer of Shabbat the children set our kitchen table with 

Shabbat candles, Challah and cakes.

We baked Challah for Shabbat.

Mendel rolled the dough into a snakelet.

Zalman and Riva rolled it in to a ball.

We asked the children where can we bake our Challah?

Zalman and Riva pointed on the oven on the cabinet.

They helped to put the tray inside the oven.

We watched our Challah baking

 in the oven and it smelled so good.

The children found their pictures on the stamps.

We sang Shabbat songs holding hands...

Dancing with scarves.

We set the table for Shabbat.

Everyone helped :)

Riva lit the candles.

Zalman blessed the wine.

Mendel blessed the bread.

Thank you Rafi for being the fruit family this week.

Shabbat Shalom Chaverim!!!
