This week in the purple room we started learning about the next holiday: Passover.
On Monday Morah D set up mystery boxes with different Passover pictures and objects. Mystery box question was "What is the theme of the week". Each child pulled out the pictures or object and realized everything they pulled out had to do with Passover. We read Pesach Ba so that our friend can see how our house is changing for Passover.
On Tuesday we washed coins in soapy water and scrubbed each coin till it was shiny, because our house has to be very clean and Chametz free for Passover. We read the story Izzy the Whiz and the Passover McClean, so our friends can see how we need to make sure and check each spot in our house to make sure we have no Chametz in our houses for Passover. On Wednesday and Thursday we played a Passover memory game, this activity helped us talk about the different things we do and see on Passover, while also working on our memory.
       In our art center this week we have been working on transferring art from shaving cream, hair gel and paint on to paper. Our friends squeezed out some gel or shaving cream then squirted different paint colors over it.  They then used a pencil to make a design they liked and then put a paper on top. After removing the paper the design transferred to the paper but the shaving cream and gel didn't. Our friends also wanted to change up the seating in our library, we had so much fun sitting on our tires during Purim, so we painted the tires and put them in our new library.

Share time this week was about the letter M
