Yom Kippur inspired:
The Yeladim noticed Aleph Bet letters in the Machzor. They used Aleph Bet letters to paint.
Yesterday the Yeladim spoke about Mitzvot and making good choices as we approach Yom Kippur. Today the Yeladim traced the letter M and Mem with stickers. As they traced the letters Morah Debrah asked the Yeladim for examples of Mitzvot:
Peretz: Share a Shovel (on the playground)
Hilary: I share my toys with my sister (Daki = Jackie;)
At meeting time the Yeladim watched a Friendship time puppet show and Dani was sad Dina didn't share with him. The Yeladim looked in the mirror to show how they feel when someone does'nt share and when they do share. Then Dina decided to give Dani a turn and he felt very good. Dina felt good too that she shared!
Mendel is looking in the mirror noticing the features on his face.
The Yeladim sat down to draw self portraits.
Drawing self-portrait helps preschool aged children learn about what people look like, how people are different and how they are alike. There are many skills being acquired as your child creates their self-portrait. They are developing basic math skills such as shape recognition and understanding the part to whole relationship. They are naming facial features and learning color recognition. Additionally, they are learning to follow steps in a sequence.
The Yeladim enjoyed finding the M from yesterday as it moved about the classroom on the overhead projector.
Elet: "That's a big machine."
Mendel:"Mezuza starts with M!"
Yom Kippur starts with the letter Y.
The Yeladim placed different body parts on the overhead projector and gave examples of what Mitzvot/Good choices they could make with that body part.
Can you guess what Mitzvah Peretz can do with his head?
