We started the day by making portraits of ourselves or in some cases, our families. The children have definitely grown in their fine motor skills and their ability to draw and actually represent people, things or events. Each child made a portrait which we hope to share at your child's Parent Conference.
During morning meetings we make up different ways to greet one another as we go around the circle saying hello to each friend, (examples: saying "hello Dalya" with a wave or saying "Shalom" with a special hand signal, etc.). Today Peretz made up a fun way to greet one another: putting thumbs in our ears, waving and saying..."hi!" This made us all laugh!
Another big event today was pretending that a large box in our classroom was a bear cave with growling bears and a few cubs inside. This type of imaginative play looks very simple, but actually, it is a sign of developing higher level abstract thinking through the ability to symbolize and stick with the group's social norms.
We have some very protective momma and papa bears!
Your children are all growing in leaps and bounds! It is a pleasure to get to see this unfolding.
