It's Not Playdough! Exploration with Clay in Kitah Alef

 Morah brought clay into the classroom. The children called it playdough. Morah: "This is clay!" Can you say 'clay'?" Everyone repeated: "Clay!"

 We had tools to work with the clay. Zoey formed the clay into a ball and stuck it on top of her wooden Popsicle stick.

                  Zoey: "Lollipop" handing it to Morah Myriam. Morah: "Thank you Zoey!"
                                                         Zoey: "You can do it yourself!"

 Then other friends made Popsicle sticks as well. Morah made long strips of clay and formed the strips into circles. Morah: "Look its a circle! It looks like a doughnut." Eli: "I want a doughnut!"

                                                   Rafi: "I want a doughnut too!"

                        Avraham Chaim held up his Popsicle stick. Avraham Chaim: "I did it!"

             Logan took his time with forming the clay and used some kitchen utensils and sticks.

Our friends enjoyed working with and exploring the malleable medium that is clay.
