| Artists at work: Making our own versions of the Israeli flag |
The last two weeks have been FULL of learning about Israel! From crafts to cooking, Israeli culture has infused all that we do.
Bamba and Bissli are two of the most popular snacks made in Israel (that are currently available in the kosher section of many American grocery stores). We had a blast tasting these. Here are some of the children's responses to taste and texture of the Bamba snacks:
Reyn: I like it! Look, it's in my mouth!"
Amitai: "It tastes like cheerios."
Bryna: "It tastes good."
Josie: "It tastes like peanut butter."
Laylah: "It's crunchy!"
While many were hesitant to try the new snack at first, most of the children were asking for seconds and thirds by the end of snack time.

On Monday, we tasted another classic Israeli food- falafel! The children put the dry mix in the bowl, measured and poured water in, and took turns stirring the ingredients together.

Love this!!! Also, I see now it was falafel and not matza balls (as Ziva had mentioned)
