Using our Feet!

This week in the purple room was all about our legs, feet, and toes.
On Monday we learned about the different parts of our legs. We counted our toes, all our friends counted 5 toes on each foot. We learned that we use our feet to walk and our knees to crawl. Ben told us that "Boo Boo uses his knees to crawl and feet to walk" and then all our friends tried to crawl on their knees.
Tuesday and Wednesday were fun days in our classroom, we used our legs to do different obstacle courses that Morah D set out for us.
Tuesdays obstacle course started with playing soccer to pass, run and kick the ball using our legs.  After soccer we jumped over tires. We had a line of feet facing different directions, and our friends jumped and turned their bodies in the direction of the feet. We finished our obstacle course by dipping our feet into paint and walking on paper to see our footprints.  We had lots of fun slipping in the paint and getting dirty.  On Wednesday instead of dipping our feet into the paint we tried to use our toes to grab the paint brush and paint with our toes.
Thursday and Friday were muddy days.  Our obstacle course was crawling through tires, pulling on ropes and dipping our feet in mud. Our friends used lots of sand and water to make the mud, which felt very dirty and gooey to them.  The mud was also different from paint, and our friends realized that they can feel different textures with their feet as well as their hands.

This week we started learning Parsha with Morah Gitty.  In this week's parsha of Vayera we learned all about Abraham and Sarah’s hachnasat orchim (inviting guests). We created Abraham's tent which had 4 doors for all to visit. We also learnt about the 3 malachim (angels) that came with 2 pieces of news, one that Sara will have a baby and the other that the city of Sedom will be destroyed. We also learnt all about akeidas yitchak, how Avraham always listened to Hashem.
