Our discussion continues about Shabbos and how special Shabbos is to us. This week, we focused on what we do in preparation for this day.
After snack, Morahs prepared a bin with water and soap.We had different kinds of sponges to choose from. Everyone enjoyed scrubbing their chairs and cleaning the table.
Some friends asked Morahs for a mop and broom.
You can feel how important it is to us to bring Shabbos to our classroom.
In our dramatic play, we continued practicing lighting shabbos candles and pouring grape juice for ourselves and our friends.
The girls showed interest in wearing beautiful skirts and th boys wanted to wear kippahs.
In our block area we had a small world of people including a family of Rabbi and Rebbetzin. Our friends brought them inside their small house and even took them on a ride in our play trucks. Some friends said that they look like Rabbi Dietch!! It was a pleasure to hear them talking and identifying
that this rabbi looks like Rabbi Dietch.
This week our friends worked to create candle holders for their Shabbos boxes. In the sensory table they scooped colored sand into small glass jars. Again, they selected the colors, they chose the order and how much sand they wanted to use as they layered it into their jars. We asked them to identify which colors they wanted and which they were using as we worked. Then they helped squeeze glue onto the top and stick the foil funnel into the sand and glue, completing their candle holders! While this project was related to Shabbos, our big idea, we also worked on hand-eye coordination and learning colors. They turned out beautifully, and we can't wait to send them home once their Shabbos Boxes are complete!
Next week we are planning to make chicken soup for Shabbat in our classroom. Please encourage your child to pick one vegetable from your fridge to bring to the Peach Room.
Thank you in advance!
Your friends love to play and pretend to cook. They will be so happy to make real soup!
Shabbat Shalom
