Kitah Gimmel makes Parsha into self expression

During circle time we learned the story about this weeks Torah portion of Parshas Vayeshev. We watched a puppet show of the story with fascination. In the story we heard how Yosef's father Yaakov gave him a special, pretty and colorful striped coat.
Later on during open art time many of the children decided to make the colorful coat that Yosef got. They stuck colorful tape into stripes on their shirts to be just like Yosef.  We are constantly taken aback by the depth of their initiative and creativity as these young children explore and take advantage of the materials around the classroom.  Ripping tape is not only fun, it is a great fine motor skill builder.
Josie reminded us that her Hebrew name is "Yosepha" which is just like Yosefs name!

Bryna- "I am just like Yosef"

Kemp-"I'm Yosef."

                                                 Mina- "Mina is going to look like Yosef."
                                         
                                                   Adaya- "Now I am just like Yosef."
