This week we explored all sorts of objects around our classroom! Our friends had a blast going in and out of the tunnel in our classroom. The peach room even turned the tunnel into a place to drive cars! A simple box is such a fun way to explore open ended imaginative fun!
Another item we explored this week was the manipulative boxes fastened with all sorts of locks. Our friends had to use their fine motor skills to open up each different box. Inside they found a fun surprise! The boxes were filled with cylinder pieces that they could take in and out. This took a lot of patience!
Lastly, our friends worked on a new puzzle! There were animals cut into two pieces and placed on two different blocks. We had to problem solve and find the matching half of the animal. There was a lot of team work going on inside the Peach Room during this new task!
Wishing you a wonderful Shabbat and weekend with your family!

Noahs Ark and Animal Exploration
Dear parents
Welcome back after high holidays, we are happy to see each other and be back on our regular routine.
Our friends are growing up and developing new skills everyday. When we start to sing the clean up song our friends right away know to put the toys back where they belong! Then we start to sing the choo choo train song and our friends already know to sit down, and wait for the Morah to start davening with them. They know that before we eat snack or lunch we need to wash hands with soap. Our friends know when it's time to go outside that we should put our shoes back on. When they see there cots ready for them, they know its time to nap. Creating a predictable routine is so important for children, and helps them know what to expect in their environment. Feel free to look at our visual pictorial schedule hanging up outside of our classroom!
Noah's Ark
This week Morah Ora made a make-shift ark out of cardboard boxes to teach our friends
about Noah's Ark and we would go inside and pretend we are floating through the waves .
Animals
We enjoyed learning about animals and the sounds they make . Caleb excitedly repeated every sound Morah made. Shyli, Guy and Leah really liked the animal matching puzzles. Our friends use stamp pads to stamp animals and to explore their foot prints . After learning about animals we were ready for our petting zoo. We saw different kinds of animals at our petting zoo (ducks, chickens, llamas and goats) The children loved playing with the animals. They were all curious and gentle. Caleb brushed some of the animals. Shyli loved touching and talking to every animal. Guy loved to look at all the animals.
Next week we will continue learning even more about different types of animals!
Shabbat shalom
