Prepares for the Pesach Seder
Preparations
for Pesach started soon after we returned from Winter Break. Planting our
parsley had to happen right away for it to grow in time.
Next
step was discussing the hagaddah and having our pictures taken.
With the
hagaddah completed and Purim behind us we were ready to fully delve into
everything Pesach. The children started by taking down all the Purim
decorations and costumes and creating their new Pesach pictures. Around the
room hung pictures of a hagaddah, 4 cups of wine, Matzot and Pesach Seder
plates. The dramatic area was set with a Pesach table. Songs could be heard
while the children played and worked.
Next
step, baking matzah. We learned the difference between Matzah and Challah. Why
is one crunchy and flat and the other soft and fluffy. The class worked fast to
make the matzah insuring it would not be chometz.
Wednesday morning the children
came in and went to work. Dessert is important. Passover brownies made with
potato starch were the first thing we made. The children peeled and grated
apples for charoset. Horseradish was also peeled and grated for maror. They
removed shells from the hard boiled eggs. Lettuce was washed and checked. The
table was set.
With all this done, we were ready
to start. We did Bedikat Chametz, looking for Chametz around the room, took an
Erev Yom Tov nap and then went through the entire Hagaddah!!
Wishing you and your family
a happy Pesach!
