Dear Families,

This week we continued incorporating Tu B'Shvat into our lessons. We spent a lot of time matching pictures of fruits and vegetables to a chart with the same images. We focused on naming each fruit and connecting the word to the picture. Many children were familiar and repeated the words back. Liran identified that lemon is sour and Asher mentioned that "Mommy cuts it." Leeann said that she likes bananas.

We played with soil in our science table and practiced digging, shoveling and filling up flower pots. On Monday, Morah added grass seeds and we were so excited to see grass growing by Wednesday! We kept checking up on our peas which starting budding! We will send them home next week and ask that you please water them and let your child taste the peas when they grow. Please send us a picture too! They should grow very quickly. :) 

Each friend got a fresh flower to dip into paint and stamp on a canvas. Everyone enjoyed watching the flower shape transfer onto the canvas and explored color mixing. We put the artwork on display for the Grandparents Zoom Tu B'Shvat party!  You can choose to give it to a grandparent if you wish.

Happy Tu B’Shvat and Shabbat Shalom

Morah Ora & Morah Rivky
