Letter recognition & writing the fun way! Preparing for Kindergarten!

Alfie the Alef Bet Monster visits our classroom throughout the week! The children learn so much from the creative way he teaches them the ABC's & Hebrew Alpha Bet.


Teaching the letter "Hey"

 Alfie's mouth opens so wide, that letters can fit INSIDE his mouth! (the velcro tabs inside his mouth make him interactive, allowing the children to take turns feeding him letters!)


 The children heard a story about a Har (mountain). There were two brothers Hershel & Hillel (both start with the letter and sound of "hey") who shared their wheat.  They had so much love for one another, that they kept on giving each other bundles of wheat, without wanting the other to know it was from him.

The Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple) was later built on that very "Har" - "Mountain top"where there was so much "Ahavas yisrael" - "Love for another!"

 



Learning to write our names...


Practicing to hold a pen correctly, the children connected the dots to create their own names.

The sentence strips turned into a name crown for extra fun!





 Letter Recognition through Art & Craft!


 The children enjoy all sorts of Art & Craft while learning to recognize different letters. Each letter is added to an ABC book!




Lots of Fine Motor skills being developed by carefully squeezing glue and placing craft pieces on the projects!
