Greeting peach room parents!

Rosh Hashana is almost here...

This week we began Rosh Hashana exploration through the discovery Rosh hashana table.
Our friends took turns looking through the magnifying glass to build their own experience with the material we had on the discovery table.  Our friends blew the shofar and they were so curious about the different sounds each of them could make. We had green and red apples to taste, and we tasted to see which one is sweet and which was sour and then we dipped them in the honey to have sweet new year.

Art Project
Our friends created a beautiful decorations for the class room to bring in Rosha Hashana spirit.  We used paint stamps and stickers.  Our friends had the opportunity to pick the color they like. Angie picked brown, Ella picked yellow, Hailey picked red, and Madison picked purple.  We also made Shana Tova cards for our loving grandparents.  We had so much fun using our apple stamps that we made from real apples .

Sensory table

In our sensory table this week we enjoyed washing apples and practicing the bracha ha-etz before we eat them.  

The Rosh Hashana songs we've been singing this week are:

To the tune of 'The Wheels on the Bus':

"The Shofar in the Shul goes toot-toot-toot
toot-toot-toot toot-toot-toot
The Shofar in the Shul goes toot-toot-toot
on Rosh Hashana morning."

To the tune of 'Oh my Darling Clementine'

Dip the apples in the honey 

Make a bracha loud and clear
L’ashana tova umeasuka 

have a happy sweet NEW YEAR !

Looking forward to next week as we explore more about Rosh Hashana by baking Honey Challah and making our own Honey Jar!

Shabbat Shalom!
