Who is Pharoah?

We used brown and yellow colors

 to mach the color of sand.

Rafi helped Mendel paint his box.

Mendel and Riva were excited to

 cover the whole box with paint.

Zalman saw a spot he didn't paint.

Riva put hers to dry.

Morning circle  Shhhhh.... everyone is sleeping.

At our morning circle we talked about Spring and it's symbols.

Zalman hung one picture of Spring: " Blue sky and flowers."

Mendel hung a picture of a fox waking up 

from his winter nap (hibernation).

And we danced as butterflies.

Today we stared the Pesach story... we used our 

craft we made this morning.

We introduced Pharoah and the Jewish people who lived in Egypt.

Mendel thought the Pyramid looks like Hamantaschen :).

We built the pyramid.

Building Pyramids

We used shaved cream and paint to  have fun while using our creativity to make a cover for our Haggadah.

Riva drizzled paint on the shaving cream.

Rafi mixed the colors we drizzled.

Mendel flipped the Haggadah on the paint 

to print the pattern.

We also created other pictures through the print making method.

We used roller to spread the paint on the templet. 

 More fun activities from our day...

Rafi shouted, " Hi everyone!"

Riva and Rafi were taking turns on the slide,

Rafi ask Riva to hold his bottle of water.

Than Riva gave Rafi his bottle back but Rafi

 had so much fun he didn't want it back

 so Riva chased him on the play ground.

Meeting friends outside.

Riva and Rafi picking flowers.

we continued the Pesach story and we have

 the children " working hard building the Pyramids".

We sang new song:

Frog on " Pharoah" nose.

We pretend to be frogs and jumped all around.

How Many Raisins Are On My Challah?

We had a beautiful Spring week.

Today we decorated Challah with 

raisins, and practiced counting them.

we used stickers as raisins.

Rafi and Riva peeled enough to cover their Challah.

Zalman and Rafi took just few .

Just right before we have Shabbat party,

we love to go aboard on  Shabbat train that is 

moving in our class.

The children noticed the wonderful weather, 

Riva said: " I didn't bring coat ".

Rafi and Zalman were playing : Peek -a-boo.

Drawing outside ... what a fun.

Shabbat party was special.

 The children checked what do we need

 for Shabbat, together:

We asked:

Did we clean the house? they said: "yes".

Did we bake Challa? they said "No",

 so we went to the shop to buy Challah.

 Did we set the table ? they said "No".

Then we set the table with :

Candles, Tzedakah box, wine and kidush cup.

Mendel said" Challah cover" and sang :" Shalom Alichem".

Rafi added the Challah and said:" Here kidush cup".

They all wanted yo lit the candles.

Zalman put a coin in Tzedakah box.

We blessed 

the candles.

We sang Shabbat songs with all our body and soul :)

What Is Blue?

Today the children had an invitation to create

with loose ends.

We used play dough, shells and foil paper.

Riva made a big Hamantaschen .

 Mendel and Zalman warped the shells with foil paper.

 

Zalman liked the sound it makes.

Riva built an oven to bake her dough.

Zalman and Rafi helped to built a bigger and higher oven...

until it collapsed :(

Rafi said: " I'm build for Riva."

Then Rafi built a small model for Riva 

and was very proud of it.

Zalman found a small Doll and said:" Momma."

Mendel balanced himself.

The weather is getting warmer we had a nice time playing outside.

We keep learning colors and shapes.

We were looking in the mirror to see our eye color.

During our conversation we noticed we had

 matching characters for Rafi and Mendel.
