Spring in Kitah Gimmel

We are back! Kitah gimmel children came on Monday filled with wonderful stories of their Pesach. Sharing their special holiday box, singing ma nishtana, finding the Afikomen and eating lots of matzah. 

We celebrated the season of spring this week. We went to say hello to our Figgie tree and  were so pleasantly surprised to see so many leaves, different sizes, growing on him.  When we left for Pesach he only had a few little green sprouts.  How did this happen?  What will happen next?  

Our observations:
Meital:  ‘Yeah Figgie!”
Miki:  “So many leaves!  And look a ladybug!”
Reyn:  “He needs a rainbow!”
Jules: “I wonder if the bugs like to land on the leaves”
Jayme: “The leaves are nice”
Dovid “I can make a tree lego!”
Ilan: “So pretty!”
Tirza: “ I like touching it!”
Rikki: “It must be Hashem!”
Freeda: “The butterflies are coming!”
Lewis: “ His brother over there is not growing like Figgie”
Jules “You're growing Figgie!”
Chana: “Figgie is growing!”
Elijah: “Love you Figgie!”

We spent time looking and examining closely our Figgie during the week (despite all the rain) and we are keeping a record of growth too.  The yeladim decided they wanted to ‘redraw’ him since last time we did it was winter and he looks very different now. 
“We love you Figgie!” we started singing and sang throughout most of the day.  What a wonderful surprise to see on our first days back !
