Specialty Activities with Morah India

Every day we head up to the third building for our class's special activity slot with Morah India. She prepares a wide range of activities that touch on different skills. We've done gross motor exercises, cooperation and self-regulation games, and art experiences.

Yoga promoted awareness of our space, our bodies and our breathing.

Working together we shook a parachute, following Morah India's directions of stop and start. 

 We did some stretches and then followed Morah India through an obstacle course.

 

 Art and science were integrated in a tricky activity where we blew droplets of watercolors with straws to watch how they moved. We added drops of different colors to see what happened when the colors mixed together.

More creativity to come next week!

Sports and Obstacle Course with Kitah Alef Camp

 This week Kitah Alef had a special treat! We went to the third building for Sports with Morah Stephanie. There was an obstacle course set up for us. There were rings to walk through and bridges to climb over.

The children pretended to drive the bus while singing The Wheels on the Bus.

 We also had a gigantic parachute that we through up and down. At one point the children took turns climbing inside and we carried them around in it.

Yona is laughing as he helps the parachute to go up and down.

 There was a trampoline for jumping on and a large open space to run around in.

Sela climbs across the bridge without any help! Way to go Sela!

 Everyone had a turn trying out the various obstacles and learning to balance while walking and or jumping across.
