Thanksgiving/Fall

Dear parents!

With Fall in the air and Thanksgiving around the corner, this week we used our senses to discover and investigate a pumpkin. Our friends took turns touching the outside of the pumpkin. They noticed the texture was mostly soft with a few bumpy rough patches around the pumpkin. Then we cut the pumpkin open and felt the inside. The texture was completely different!

Spice Exploration
This was a class favorite! We used our senses of smell, sight, and touch to explore and create a scent collage with spices. Our friends had a chance to smell each of the spices. They then decided which ones they wanted to use to create their own scent collage.

Our sensory table was filled with spices this week. Cinnamon, Paprika, and Oregano aromas were present as the children used measuring spoons and cups to pour spices from spoon to cup. We saw that the Paprika and Cinnamon spices left a residue on our hands.  

Next week, we will be learning about gratitude and making meaningful projects to be sent home.

Shabbat Shalom, 
Morah Ora and Morah Chaya
