Raising Readers and Sensory Adventures



   Dear Parents,

                               Highlight of the week.

  Our friends spent a lot of time in our classroom library!

We decided to take a walk to the CJP library and get some new books. Our friends spent time looking at the books, flipping the pages, and naming familiar pictures. They each chose which book was their favorite to take from the library back to our classroom. 

Oz picked  “Baby One, Two, Tree” 

Ariel picked  “My First Body Book”

Mika picked  ”Mix and Match”

Yosef picked  “I’ll Find You Kitty”

Avigail picked “Colors”

Ari picked  ”Hands, Hands, Fingers and Toes”

Daria picked  “Mitzvah Mouth” 


The Morahs took turns reading the books to our friends.

Several of our friends read from books that they were familiar with too.

You can encourage their joy and curiosity at home by reading to them or letting them "read" to you! Start with short books that have bright and interesting pictures and see what adventures you can experience together. If you have a favorite book at home you both enjoy reading together, please feel free to bring it in to share and a Morah will read it to our friends.

Other aspects of our classroom the children particularly enjoyed this week was the sensory table. They washed, soaped up, and dried the baby dolls. We spoke about using our  gentle hands with the babies and that we should do the same with our friends. Our friends were so gentle and loving while washing babies and giving them lots of hugs! 


Shabbat Shalom!
Morah Ora and Morah Chaya
