Authors Unit Continued

In addition to the Yeladim working on their book about teaching a Giraffe the nice way to act in our classroom, Moshe has been thinking about incorporating some paper mache. Today the Yeldim set out to create a giraffe made out of paper mache. This giraffe will stay in our classroom and be a constant reminder of how to act.

Morah Johna who has some background with circus helped the Yeladim construct a balloon giraffe as a base for the paper mache.


But what are the ingredients? Moshe had originally gotten the idea from some art the 2's class did with paper mache. The 2's class would therefore be a great resource! Zalman and Bella visited Morah Sara's class and asked her for the ingredients. They wrote it down on their clipboards.


When Zalman and Bella returned to the class they read aloud to their friends the ingredients needed.



Preparing the paper mache practicing fine motor skills through cutting newspaper strips.


Dipping, sticking......and dripping! The main part was it was extremely fun and engaging.


The Yeladim worked collaboratively to paper mache the giraffe's body.
