Kitah Alef- New Year

The children have enjoyed spending more time outside, with the weather cooling down and the leaves slowly descending from the trees. We set up a corner with a little tree composed out of branches tied together, and lots of colorful string to wrap around. The children have taken turns wrapping the string around the branches and pulling it this way and that.

Yesterday, we brought a light table into the room and placed magna tiles on it. Today we will explore sliced apples on our light table. The children will be able to investigate the shape and color of the apples more closely with the help of the light coming from underneath.

It is exciting to watch the new friendships that are blossoming in the class. During circle time we have been singing "Yadaym Lemala Al Ha Rosh, Al Ha Ktefayim, Achad, Shteim, Shalosh..." ~ Hands up high on the head, on the shoulders, one two three. We have also been singing our Rosh HaShana songs like: dip the apple in the honey. The children really enjoy circle time. Ezra always has a book picked out for us to read.

 In our sensory table we have been digging for little apples hiding in the dirt.

We wish you a Shan Tova and can't wait to see everyone when we come back!
