Friday & Today

Challah measuring, shaping and baking. A favorite Friday activity.

Parshat Hashavua - We read in the Parsha Big Book about how Hashem counted the Jewish people because he loved them so much. Each of the Jewish people gave a half a shekel (to be used for the mishkan) and the half sheckels were counted to know how many Jewish people there were. The Yeladim each put their tzedaka in a bowl and then we counted out the coins to know how many Yeladim were in our class.

 Thank you to Moshe and his family for being the fruit family this week! The delicious and healthy assortment of fruit and vegetables goes very well with March being National Nutrition Month!
Today's snack menu:
Yellow peppers
 Blood oranges & clementines
 grape tomatoes
white, purple and orange carrots

At first the Yeladim did not take much but after some time the colors were tempting and by the time 

snack was over they had finished it all! 

Moshe: These oranges are blood oranges but deer is no blood in it.

Ronny: I don't like this orange....its tastes like blood.

:)

With all the new vegetables and colors our snack had lots of new words and letters!

Today we drew up a web on what the previous knowledge the Yeladim have about Purim. Before drawing a web on the white board and listening to the Yeladim's ideas the Yeladim had time to close their eyes and think about answers to the questions Morah was asking to help them remember. After talking about it out loud the Yeladim drew pictures of what they had remembered in reference to the story of Purim.
