The beginning of Rosh Hashana learning!

This week in the purple room we discussed what everyone did during the long weekend.

Vella said " I played and went to bed."

Nosson said " I watched a video, and played on my Ipad, and I went to the park with my cousins the Lipskers. "

Ben said " I went to a new park and we didn't see anything it was so dark."

Shimmy said " I went to snow."

Nechama said " i went to Target and bought a dinosaur."  which she brought on her share day.

Our friends are very excited that we finished  our calendar!  After so much fun and hard work we were finally able to put our calendar together.  While we were putting the calendar together we enjoyed remembering who wrote each number and letter. We learned the days of the week in Hebrew and English, and we learned that Hebrew letters are also numbers.
 

During our quiet time we are still have lots of fun while learning independently. Each friend wrote there full names in Hebrew and English using dry erase markers.  Later during the week we added writing Hebrew letters, upper case ABC, and numbers 1-10, learning that the number 10 is made of two numbers 1 and 0.

  

Rosh Hashana is close by, so our friends started learning about the different names of Rosh Hashana, why we blow the Shofar, why we eat apples dipped in honey, and much more. To have a fun discussion about the holiday Morah D hid objects that pertain to Rosh Hashana in balloons filled with water and froze them.  The next day our friends had to chisel the objects from the ice and tell us about why and what the object is used for.

Share day started last week. Each friend brings in something very special to them, they tell all our friends about it, the class is able to ask questions and have a chance to feel/touch what they brought.

Last week Nosson brought a sling shot that has many colors and he showed us how to use it.

Last week Vella brought in a hard-not-soft doll named Claudine " I pretend to play with it and I love it"

Last week Ben brought in his Spiderman that "He has a bottom which says 4 years and up."  Nosson replied "Spiderman wears leggings and underwear on top"

Last week Nechama brought a fluffy pilliow that she has had for a very long time and she sleeps with it.

Last week Shimmy brought in Dusty the plane and boat "it lands in water, it is red and black and white"

   

This weeks share.

Shimmy brought a ball and a Frisbee that is purple, the Frisbee was hard but the ball was soft.

Ben brought a tortoise that is sharp, sticky, and smells like clay, AND OF COURSE ITS HARD.

Nechama's share came all the way from target to visit us. He is very hard. Nechama also showed us the correct way the dinosaur roars.  

Vella brought her blue stone like the letter Ll and she really really really loves it.

Nossson brought in a snake that opens its mouth and its not hard on the bottom.

Shabbat Shalom Morah D
