     Dear Peach Room parents, it was a pleasure having parent - teacher conference with you!

     Gross motor activities
     Our friends love to explore the playground and outdoors on their own. They're so independent! But Morahs are always next to them, keeping an eye on them and making sure we're all safe. Our friends enjoy playing in the sandbox and feeling the rough texture of the sand, climbing on the climbing structure, riding bikes, sliding on the slide, and balancing on the beam. All these activities are great at developing our gross motor skills. These skills help our friends to run, catch a ball, climb etc. We are loving our outdoor play! 

Fine motor activities
     Inside our classroom we are working on our fine motor skills. Morahs put out soft rugs with manipulatives on them so our friends could visit a station of their choice to strengthen their fine motor skills. Hailey and Madison explored boxes fastened with all sorts of locks. They used their fine motor skills to open and close each box. Inside the box were a bunch of little toy pieces which our friends took out and put back inside. This took a lot of patience! 

     Angie used her hand eye coordination to put different sized penny's on a peg. Ella mixed colors in the peg holder. Yehonathan also used his fine motor skills to place corks inside and out of a pool noodle! All of the objects and activites are great for our friends.

     Dear parents and friends, thank you for another great week. Have a wonderful winter break! Shabbat Shalom - Morah Ora and Morah Goldie
