Goodbye school year of 2021-2022

Dear Families,

This week we focused on our last project of this school year! It will be displayed at the Moving Up Ceremony on Thursday.

Because of the holiday, Shavuos, is so close to our ceremony, we decided to relate our project to this beautiful holiday.

On Shavuos, we celebrate Hashem giving us the Torah on Har Sinai. Har Sinai was so different from other mountains. Our friends were able to create their own beautiful Har Sinai on canvas.

We first used sand and glue to create the mountain. We enjoyed the sensory experience and strengthened our gross motor skills by picking the sand up from the bowl and sprinkling it. Some friends preferred to pour the sand directly onto the canvas.

We then took baskets and went on a nature walk to collect flowers. We loved pointing out the colors, feeling the leaves and smelling the different kinds of flowers. We picked the flowers that we liked and our friends helped each other fill up their baskets.

We took the flowers that we picked and dipped them into glue, then stuck them on the canvas. It was fun to watch the  different types of flowers react differently. Some flowers got stuck in the glue and we had to pull them out, some of the leaves stuck together and we got our hands dirty to separate them.

It was amazing  to see their imagination explode with their creations!  It is great sensory exploration for our friends to feel and mix all the different textures.

As we wrap up our school year, next week will be a short but busy week as we practice for the Moving Up Ceremony performances and complete our projects. Thursday morning you are invited to join us in celebration at 9:30 am.

Dear Families,

Due to a family event  I will be not be attending our special day, but Morah Rivky will be here and guide our friends through the special performance. I apologize that I cannot be here with all of you. I will see my friends at summer camp and I will be around throughout the new school year and see them grow more and more.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful year!

Shabbat Shalom and have a great summer break,

Morah Ora & Morah Rivky
