IDF Preschool Training


During our trip to Israel we explored what life would be like for an IDF soldier. Transitioning from a care free lifestyle to that of a disciplined soldier can be difficult, but our students were up for the challenge.  We talked about how sometimes we are tired and our bodies don't want to go on... but when we are working to keep our country, our family, and our friends safe, we can find the energy to do anything!!  Just watch and see how hard everyone worked!!






They were even able to respond to different commands.  Sometimes we went forward, sideways, and even backwards!! "Do we have to go over the tunnel or under it?" They asked with excitement.  Everyone moved with a sense of pride and urgency. After all, we wanted to make our family and our country proud. And they did.

Israel Here We Come! Kitah Alef

 Kitah Alef went on a trip to Israel. We had to take a ship to Haifa and that was great fun! Ezra was the captain, Caleb steered the ship, and Sammy was the look out.
 After arriving at the port of Haifa, we made our way quickly down to Eilat. We just couldn't resist the beautiful sparkling waters and boats.
 We had to make some sun visors for everyone, because the sun was so hot!
 Everyone wanted to stay in Eilat for a long time and so we did. Next time we will visit a few more cities in the Holy Land.



 We finished the day with a wonderful picnic for Maddy's Birthday. Happy Birthday Maddy!!!
