We're growing growing growing! Kitah Alef

 We are so excited to see our seeds turn into plants! They have grown so much since we first planted them just a few weeks ago. Everyone got to pose with their plant for a picture. Zoey: "Me, my turn!"

 We are being very gentle when touching our plants, we don't want to hurt the delicate stem.

 Each day the plants are getting taller and taller. We make sure to add a little water every day. The plants curve up towards the sunlight streaming in through the window.

 On Wednesday we could not believe how tall they had gotten. Morah Myriam: "Look everyone, see how big our plants are!"

 Gabby felt the soil of his plant to see if there was enough water in it. Morah: "Do we need more water Gabby?" Gabby: "Yes, water!"

 Rafi is very proud of his plant and holds it up for Morah to see. Rafi: "It's growing."

"We're growing growing growing just like a tree, Come look at me, and you will see!
There are so many things that now we can do, and we learn every day how to be a better Jew!"

Planting and Digging with Kitah Alef

 Last week and this week Morah brought sand with lima beans and sticks into the classroom. We went digging for the lima beans in the sand. Sylvia collected a few in her hands.

 We decided to plant the lima beans in little cups filled with dirt. Each child received a cup with his/her name on it and planted three lima beans in the soil.

                        Morah Myriam: "Did you plant a bean?" Sylvia: "Yes, I planted one!"

 Zoey carefully pushed her lima beans into the soil one by one. Each child had a turn planting.

                                                   Yisroel: "I planted it, I planted it!"

         After everyone was finished planting the beans, we placed them on the window sill.

 Morah Myriam: "Will it grow? What will it be?" Sylvia: (pointing to the window) "Yes! A Tree!"

                                         We can't wait to see what happens next!
