Dear parents
We have had a busy week despite some of our friends being out sick.  We miss them and hope they feel better soon so they come back to play and learn.

This week we continued learning about Tu B Shevat, the New Year for the trees .

We began this week from reading a books to our friends about trees and birds .
We learn that birds need trees for food and shelters, but trees need birds too.  We decided to make some birds feeders to make a gift for our birds .

Our friends took pine cones and dipped them in to sunflower butter and rolled them in to bird seeds and with morahs help we will hang them on the trees by our playground.
Hailey and Yehonathan asked the morahs for more pine cones to make more food to the birds and Yehonathan gave one to our classroom bird and says "thats for you bird!".

Sensory table.
This week our friends been planting seeds(cilantro) in small pots for our grandparends or special friends to take home as a gift at grandparents day on monday jan 21 at 10 oclock .
Madison enjoyed scooping the soil in to the pot and plant seeds.

Block center.


At the block center we added some pictures of fruits and vegetables .
Angie and Hailey where matching and naming each fruit and vegetable and stacking blocks, Yehonathan enthusiastically said Amen!

Table top
Clay, playdoh and branches were set out for our friends to sculpt their own tree. Playing and molding clay can be extremely therapeutic for a child who needs to physically express their emotions. In addition, their fingers are working to strengthen their fine motor skills and dexterity while their brain is working on their imagination and creativity.

Peach room Morahs and friends would like to Say Happy Birthday to Hailey! In honor of her birthday her family donated abc & 123 magnets with magnets board .Thank you so much!

Shabbat shalom,

Morah Ora and Morah Goldie
