Dear Parents,

 

WELCOME DAVIS!

The Purple Room is so excited to welcome Davis Hartman to the Purple Room!

 

Pesach

The Purple Room Whizzes have been practicing and practicing the Mah Nishtana. (Naveed: Oh, this again??)

 

The children were so excited to sing the Mah Nishtana to their grandparents on Zoom this week. They used their Mah Nishtana puppets (found in their Haggada behind Step 5 of the Seder) to illustrate each question.

 

They had a lot of fun singing the Afikoman song to their Grandparents.

 

Song

Afikoman

(TTTO: Macarena)

 

You take the middle Matzah and you break it in the middle

You take the bigger piece and put back the little

The kids try to take it from behind the Abba’s pillow

Ooooh Afikoman!

 

Afikoman etc. (with actions) (palms out down, palms out up, cross arms across chest to shoulde , then other arm, hand behind ear or on head, then other hand, hand crossed over lap, then other hand, hand on hip, then other hand, then hands up in question)

 

Where’s the afikoman?!

 

The children are very proud of the Haggada they made and worked so hard on for the last few weeks.

 

The Purple Room Artists created stunning K’ora Seder Plates using copper sheets. It was a very different art experience because they used a wooden stylus to etch out the design into the copper with a stencil and weren’t able to see the result until the stencil was removed.

 

The children played all sorts of matching, math and literacy games this week based on Pesach.

 

Wishing you and your family a Happy and Kosher Pesach!
