Colors & Snow

Welcome back, after a long Passover vacation we are back and jumping into spring, learning about colors, different shades of each color and the Omer. What is the Omer? Why do we count the day of the Omer?
To learn about the different colors and shade our friends took all the crayons, markers, colored pencils, sharpies and brought them to the art center. We learned and saw that orange is not just one orange, but there is red orange, yellow orange, sandy tan, tiger orange and peach. Each orange is different, after seeing all the oranges our friends couldn’t wait to see all the other colors and how different they were. Red had wild strawberry, mahogany, ruby and red orange. Purple had violet, royal purple, mauve, orchard and blue violet. Pink had flamingo pink, carnation pink, red violet and maroon. Blue had blue green, sky blue, bubbly blue, slate and turquoise. Brown had taupe, light brown, burnt sienna, chestnut, tumbled weed, raw sienna, tan, ochre and dark brown.

To explore more colors Morah D also made water balloons that our friends dipped in to paint and played soccer or just bounced them on paper, our friends saw that some colors were mixing with others and making a new color. We took our water balloons outside so that all the friends in CJP can also play and discover how fun it can be to paint with water balloons.

On Thursday we made snow in our class. Measuring the correct amount of water to snow ratio, then mixing it together, the mixture first turned to clear slush but the more we mixed the more it turned white. The snow felt cold and smooshy.

From Morah Gitty:
This week we started to learn all about the omer, how we countdown the days until Shavuot,
when we got the torah. Everyday of the omer works on another middah, character trait. This
weeks middah was gevurah, strength of judgment, how to properly discipline with kindness,
compassion, endurance, humility, bonding and nobility.

Shabbat Shalom!
Morah D
