Our snack preparation center is becoming quite popular. The skills practiced are great as well as the confidence built in the children when they feel they are able to accomplish a meaningful task. At snack the Yeladim thank those that helped prepare it.
Shmulie used his inner core body strength to push the apple slicer through the apple. After some hard work Shmulie did it! He felt really good about it.
After Binyamin pealed an orange he tried the apple slicer on it but it did not work well. Trial and error is a wonderful thing to experience in our life of learning. A great book on allowing children to make thier own mistakes and learn from it is 'The Blessing of A Skinned Knee.'
The Mango was so much fun to cut, the pieces kept on getting smaller and smaller :). The finished product ended up being diced size pieces.
