Triangles and Plants

Yesterday, we made triangle collages for our triangle bulletin board. We also got to go the Juice Bar in the shul and try some freshly made juice. It was a very different taste than we expected. We didn’t like it too much, but it was a fun experience.

We’re also getting really good at building with blocks. Look at this Beis Hamikdash we built together.

Today, we started with some watercolor painting for some free art. Afterwards, we put soil and seeds into our flowerpots. We added a little water and put them by the windowsill to grow.

We started playing with our toys and the children were having such a good time playing together, they got an extra long play time.

We had to work extra hard by clean up time, but once the whole room was cleaned, we got a special treat! Rabbi Naftoli did some juggling for us. We really liked that!

Afterwards, Morah Perel told the story of how it came to be that the Torah was given on Har Sinai. We learned that there were many Mountains in the Desert. They heard that Hashem was going to pick one to give the Torah to the Jewish People. They all started talking about how they are the greatest and best, except Har Sinai. He didn’t think he was better than his friends and because of that Hashem chose him to give the Torah.  We know now that it’s important to be humble and not put down our friends.  We are talking a lot about the word “friendship” and this fits into being a friend and having friendship.  We will now also have “Good Friend” stickers to put on our charts when we show friendship.
