Kitah Daled
Sukkah Decorations
Kitah Daled children have been extremely interested in building.
Observing this preoccupation, wood pieces were offered for this project.
Recycled materials were also presented.
Last year in Kitah Gimmel, many of these same children collected recycled materials for Earth Day.
The children used those collected materials for this project.
The children also used metal loose parts, chain, beads, feathers, wire and fabric scraps to complete their creations.
Simchat Torah Flag
The children used brightly colored paint to create a tie-died pattern on white fabric.
They took turns squeezing the liquid water colors all over the fabric.
Once dry, the fabric was cut into rectangles.
Since the torah is what is being celebrated on Simchat Torah, we decided that is what should be illustrated on the flag.
Children had the choice to draw a torah using permanent and/or paint markers,
stamp a torah using tempera paint,
or stencil one on the front of their flag with dotters.
Kitah Gimmel
Sukkah Decorations
Kitah Gimmel incorporated Sukkot's connection to nature in their sukkah decorations.
Their creations were assembled of mainly natural materials.
wooden shapes, twine, fabric scraps,
shells, leaves, twigs,
feathers, spiky gumball pods,
and conifers were all strung together to create striking textured ornaments.
The children painted white fabric using bright, liquid water colors.
They squirted the paint all over the fabric creating a tie-dye effect.
They were offered a stencil,
a stamp,
paint,
and markers to depict a torah on their flag.
Kitah Bet
Sukkah Decorations
The children of Kitah Bet have been working with fabric.
They enjoy looking at the colors and patterns,
playing "ghosts,"
and then ripping it into ribbons.
That interest is featured in their sukkah decorations through the use of ribbons and fabric scraps in their creations.
The children strung together wooden shapes,
recycled materials, felt balls,
and, fabric scraps
onto pipe cleaners and twine.
Using pincher grip, twisting pipe cleaners and, stringing objects help children build their fine motor skills and strengthen the muscles in their hands.
Kitah Alef
Sukkah Decorations
Kitah Alef also celebrated nature through their Sukkah decorations.
They drew on large Magnolia leaves with paint markers.
The Morahs noticed how much the children enjoyed mark-making,
so much so that they did not want to stop drawing.
We plan to honor this interest in future art offerings.
The children chose fabric to be tied onto their leaf as the final touch!
