It is always exciting to see everyone back at school after an extended break. The children had lots to tell each other about what they had done over Succot.
Menny and Alex began the conversation telling us that they ate in the Succah. Alex told us that his succah was made with tubes and the walls were tied on with ribbons. His father collected the branches for the roof/schach.
Mia continued that her grandmother came to visit and they played games with her. Mia enjoyed hide and seek while Alex liked red light green light. Jonah suggested that we play that at school.
Motty shared that he shook a make believe lulav and etrog.
Dovi and Menny were happy that they shook the lulav all by themselves.
Eden spent her break in Florida with her grandparents Shelly and Marty.
Jonah said that he mostly stayed home over the break. Max told us that he went to Kindercare.
Sholom visited Menny and went into his succah.
Dovi had some Chol Hamoed fun. He went to a place with a race track and bowling. He raced with his father and won the bowling game with his sister, Kiki. Luba enjoyed the chag playing with her brothers and sisters. Menny went to Skyzone and made a somersault.
Felix went on, "I built a succah at my house. I ate in my succah. We made it out of wood and used branches for the roof." Sholom countered, "We used bamboo."
Nadav was very engaging as he told us that he sang the succot song and made the bracha on shaking the lulav. He sang the song for us and recited the bracha, too!
The children all listened intently to each other, It was a wonderful class discussion.....
