Shavuos: With One Heart

This week we started a new month in the Hebrew calendar. 
This month of Sivan is a very exciting month, it's the month that we received the Torah!
On Rosh Chodesh Sivan the Jewish people camped by Har Sinai. We learned that they were like one person with one heart.
How can that be? I doesn't feel that way...

There are many things that exist but are invisible, like Hashem, our heart and our Neshama... 
Even though we can't see it the Jewish people are connected and are like one all the time! It just doesn't always seem that way. On Rosh Chodesh Sivan right before receiving the Torah the Jewish people felt this connection and oneness very strongly.

We told the children when they hear the 10 Commandments in Shul they should close their eyes and visualize Matan Torah, the moment we receive the Torah. 
The children are the guarantors for the Torah. When children take upon themselves to learn Torah and do Mitzvos now, they cause Matan Torah every year. The Torah was given, and continues to be given every year, all because of the children!     

We made thank you cards for Hashem with a fun sensory process art.
Menachem drips watercolors into the shaving cream.
Swirling the colors made beautiful designs to dip our cards in.
Then we wrote our words for Hashem.


Bela Riva is writing a thank you card to Hashem in her own words.

The Torah was written with all the letters of the Aleph-beis.
Evan practices writing.

Incorporating math and Shavuos. 

Har Sinai had flowers all over, we colored in many beautiful numbered flowers.


Happy Birthday Morah Avigayil!
We love you!



We acted like seeds growing doing some body exercises.


Capit Reading Practice.

Games are fun and improve our fluency.
In this game we had to look for the word and get it. Yisroel and Motty got the word, the rest of the class had to write the word.
