Dear Parents.
This week in the Peach Room our friends began to explore concepts related to Shabbat. Morah Ora explained that after Hashem worked so hard to create our beautiful world he needed to rest on the seventh day. Shabbat is an important time to rest, pray, and spend time with our families and loved ones at the end of each week. We don't go to school or work. We might bathe and brush our hair and wear our nice dress clothes. A big feast is prepared. We light the candles and say a blessing called Kiddush over the grape juice and Challah bread. As a class we also read several storybooks including, '1,2,3 Shabbat", "Shalom Shabbat- A Book for Havdalah" and "My First Shabbat Board Book".
Our friends worked on making their own Shabbos candle holders. We squeezed tea light candles inside air dry clay to make the shape of a candle. Then our friends decorated the candle holder with gems.
Another Shabbos project that we did was painting Kiddush cups with acrylic paint.
Next week we will continue learning about Shabbos and making our very own Shabbos challah covers.
Shabbot Shalom,
Morah Ora & Morah Chaya
