Shining on Shushan Purim!

This week we celebrated Shushan Purim. In the city of Shushan they needed one more day to finish the miraculous battle which allowed the Jewish people to live freely. To this day only in Jerusalem they celebrate Purim also the 15th of Adar. To commemorate this we have a joyous day.

Celebrating by face painting and a fashion show!

Hanging out with our costumes. 

Thank you Rabbi Lang for coming to do a rally with us!

We have been reviewing our Cholem skills and played a game when the music stops we picked a card to read.

Happy 5th birthday to Theo!

So special to add so many Mitzvahs to our Birthday party!

Learning about our teeth health by doing a egg experiment by placing them in different liquids. 

We graphed the outcome to see what is the very best for our teeth health.

Decorating fun masks and exchanging Mishloach Manos- gifts of food to each other. 

It feels so good to give to another friend!

We had a fun fashion show on a red carpet to feel unique and special.

smiley stamps was a fun way to express our happiness. 

Sometimes the clean up party is the highlight ;)

We are getting ready for our next unit of Pesach! 

Show and Tell day!

 

Nosh, Nosh A Hamantash!

Purim is almost here, and it’s time for us to learn and prepare for the mitzvos of this very special day!
We discovered that there are four mitzvos of Purim, and they all begin with the letter מ (Mem): Mishloach Manos, Megillah, Mishteh, and Matanos La’Evyonim.

Yehudis, is drawing a beautiful Megillah on the board as we bring our learning to life!

We made a special Purim book all about the four mitzvos of Purim! Avraham, preparing his Mishloach Manos, carefully adding two different food items so they will have two different brachos.

Eli, made his own Megillah and even wrote his name and a friend’s name inside!

We also prepared a Mishloach Manos box to send to a friend on Purim!

We invited Mordechai and Esther to join our davening and gave extra tzedakah in honor of Purim!

Yossi shared that Mordechai is in his heart!

Hamantashen playdough bakery!

Nosh, nosh on the hamantash!

Lots of giggles during our fun game of Duck, Duck, Goose!

We celebrated 100 days of class this week with lots of fun activities! All the students collaborated on coloring our giant “100 days smarter” poster!

We played a math building game using dice and 100 red cups.

Shabbat Shalom!

Happy Purim!

This week we learned about the Purim story.

The  King chose Esther and she had an important job to save the Jewish people from not nice Haman. 

We learned how we bow down to Hashem and we are not  afraid of people. 

Pinny, telling Haman we will not bow down to him.

Hashem saved us through the children's prayers and now we get to celebrate!

One of the fun ways we commemorate is by making delicious Hamentashen. It's quite a skill to turn a circle into a triangle!

A mini Hamentashen factory going on;)

Practicing on a paper while trying to get the pom poms in the middle.

During the reading of the Megillah, when hearing Hamans name we make a lot of noise. We created our very own graggers.

Getting to see what a real Megillah looks like. 

In the Month of Adar, we are extra happy! Our friends tried to make a smile face with their snacks.

Fun switch ups! Learning how to do a wheel barrow race and learning how to plank.

Friendships.

Good Shabbos from a little Shabbos angel :)
