For our first art offering, Morahs set out loose parts, yarn, feathers, and fabric scraps.
The children made their own Safe Keeper dolls.
They chose a cork or a round piece of wood for a head and a popsicle stick for the body.
The children used a low-temperature glue gun to adhere fabric scraps and feathers for clothes.
They cut yarn and fake hair, then glues it on their doll's head.
"He needs pants."-Jake
The children drew a face with permanent markers.
Morahs each made one as well.
Each doll represents a member of our class.
"He's a ninja. This is his mask."-Hudson
"This is the garbon."-Menachem (pointing at the bottom of the stick.)
Every morning the children and Morahs “check-in” their doll.
Everyone makes an agreement to “keep it safe.”
When we are finished checking in our dolls, we wish the friends well who are absent.
This also shows us how many friends we need to keep safe each day.
We also have a Safe Keeper each day. This child gives us safety reminders throughout the day.
We also have a Safe Keeper song that we sing each day which helps us keep safety fresh in everyone's mind.
Try it out!
When I come to school each day,
To keep us safe here's what I say:
My eyes will watch,
My ears will listen,
My hands are gentle,
Use gentle taps for attention.
My feet will walk,
My words are kind,
I'll tell my friends if there's something I mind.
When I'm sad, or angry, I'm a S.T.A.R.,
The safe place isn't very far.
I'll do my best for you and me
And for our school family!

Have a good weekend!
Shabbot Shalom!
