As Kitah Gimmel delves further into their Israel exploration, they are learning about the variety of natural surroundings in Israel. Last week, Morah Estee set up a sensory experience composed of a ring of rock salt with Ahava Dead Sea mud in the center.
It was fascinating to watch the children's responses to the materials, and the different ways they used their hands to mix it together, poking, raking, and squeezing the salt and mud together.
How fascinating that this activity prompted a connection to Pesach content, learned weeks ago! (See dialogue below). Now that's what I call internalizing the content and making meaningful connections!
Luba: "I'm not touching the mud!! [touches salt] It feels like rice..."
Dovy: "It's not rice, it's salt!"
Iyar: "I got muddy!"
Dovy: "We're making a trail. No, we're making pancakes! No, pizza, right?"
Iyar: "I'm making pancakes!"
Luba: "This is the oven."
Iyar: "We put it in the oven. Now it will turn black! Now it's gonna turn into charoset!"
Dovy: "Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day!" [sprinkles salt with fingers]
Luba: "I love mixing!"
