Batya (Vella) Spent her summer "learning silly letters".
Nechama went to Bear-izona "I saw black bears, white wolves, and a fox".
Ben went to Disney "I went to downtown Disney, its a hotel. There was a monorail slide under."
Shimmy went to Disney too "We went to snow and saw a wolf."
Nosson traveled all over "I go to the water park with my floaties and goggles, I lost a blue thing on my goggles, I went to NY on a flight and someone picked us up." So if someone found Nosson's blue thing from his goggles please bring it to the Purple room!
All our friends were so excited to see our new room and all of the new centers.We have a library with many books and it is also a quiet space if anyone needs some time to themselves. Dramatic Play is where all of our friends can dress up, cook, set up a Shabbat table and let there imagination take them away.
Block and Circle time: This area is very special, during circle time we pray to Hashem and have very important discussions about our feelings, parsha, brachos, and many other lessons. Our friends also use this area for blocks where they have been building parks, zoos, their own homes.
Math and Science: Our friends learn numbers using our new math materials like the spindle box. We also have 3 new friends in our science center: a tortoise named Shelly who loves lettuce and 2 Parakeets named Ricky and Lucy who loves to sing and play with toys.
This week we have been going outside to document the progression of our playground, each friend has been using a paper and colored pencils to draw what they see and add anything new as the build our playground.
When I asked them what they drew these were their answers:
"Nechama drew trees
Ben drew tire tracks
Nosson drew bike track and steps
Batya (Vella) drew the rainbow class " because I love Imie"
Shimmy drew the hose and bike track".
The purple room friends have been working on writing their names in Hebrew and English. We are also working on creating our own calendar. We have been practicing writing each day of the week, the numbers 1-31 and decorating them with branches, buttons, glitter, sugar, cocoa, sparkles, and googly eyes. This has been a very exciting, imaginative and educational week.
Shabbat Shalom. Looking forward to a great week next week!
