Shabbos is coming!

This week in the purple room we started learning and reviewing what we know about Shabbat and what we don’t know yet.
Our friends reviewed the Hebrew day of the week and learned that Shabbat means rest.
Each friend has been working on creating their own Shabbat box kit. They have made their own candle and a box where they store all of the things we will need for Shabbat in it. We made our candles with rocks that each friend found on our playground. We made our boxes by painting them and decorating them with beads and small stones.

This week the purple room took a trip to the science museum. We spent most of our time in the human body section. We got to feel touch and play with the different parts of our human body. Our friend played in the big stomach and got to see 2 shows. The first show was about liquid nitrogen, this was very cool, we got to feel the liquid nitrogen and walk and run through it. Our friends also learned that there is a moon named titan that is made up of liquid nitrogen. The second show was about the digestive system. We got to see how we process our food, our friends saw how the masher works like our teeth and makes the food smaller, then we saw how the food travels through the esophagus into the stomach and into the intestines. Overall this was a great trip where our friends explored everything we have been learning in our classroom.

Share this week was all about the letter H.
Vella brought in a handkerchief that she will use in the future to cover her baby doll on her new bike.
Shimmy brought in his hulk who was green and mean.
Nechama brought in her hat that glowed in the dark.
Nosson brought in his hockey sticks that he thought had a kosher sign.
Ben brought in his hockey jersey that he wore to a hockey game.

This week's parsha is va’eira, and we learn about Moshe and Aaron going to pharaoh to ask him to let the Jewish People out of Egypt. But even after Aaron shows him a miracle where his staff turned into a snake Pharoah still said no. Then came the plagues, the first one was blood then frogs, lice, wild animals, all their cattle got sick, boils, hail and grasshoppers but still Pharaoh said no I will not let the Jewish people go. We will continue learning about what happened to the Jewish people in Egypt next week.
