It's Challah Time!

Dear Families,

It's Challah Time!

This week our friends were invited to the table to practice their skills with kneading and rolling play dough. Our friends chose to use different methods to make their challah.

Some friends rolled the dough into three snakes to make a three-braided challah. Some chose to use different shapes to make their dough into a circle, square, or triangle.

Challah Boards

Our friends used permanent markers to color their own plates, and then we added an alcohol solution using eye droppers for some excellent fine motor practice. Our friends were surprised to see how the colors started mixing and spreading all over the plate.This project provided fine motor, hand-eye coordination, writing, and science exploration and they turned out beautifully!

Challah Covers

Our friends worked on challah covers to cover their challahs on their Shabbos tables. Peach Room friends were seated by the table where they had a tray prepared for them with material and tie dye bottles. Our friends were so focused on squeezing the bottles with the colors of their choice to create beautiful splatter art. Then they stamped the word "Shabbos" on them with help from their morahs. 

Sensory Table

In our sensory table this week, we have been washing dishes. This is a favorite activity and when we added it to the small sink in dramatic play, there was not enough space for all of our friends who wanted to participate. We moved it to the sensory table in response to their enthusiasm.

 

Thank you for sending vegetables for our chicken soup! We cannot wait to make it next week! We will also be working on the last step for our Shabbos box.

We hope you all can join us next Friday for Shabbos party at 9:00am on the grass!!!

Shabat Shalom,

Morah Ora & Morah Rivky
