A whole year in one week!


Is it really the last week of school? My time does fly, we've had a packed year of learning growing and a lot of love together. This week we had some more fine motor skills activities as well as visiting a lot of the big ideas throughout the year!

Esther creating little balls of play dough to fit into the small suction cup circles. Chanie, worked hard on getting paper clips on the lines. We talked about how important it is to strengthen our fingers for writing skills we will get next year!



Chana Rochel using all her might to hole punch paper and Menachem cutting spaghetti.



Chana concentrating piling up her beads on a stick.

This was a fun hand-eye coordination activity. Our friends were invited to use ladles to remove the balls from the basket without taking off the tape. 


 Come join us as we take a trip through the year!


Rosh Hashanah- 'Being sweet'!

Shmuel noticed Arik needed some magnets and without hesitating he shared them. There are a lot of sweet moments we get to witness in our class each time we reminded them how sweet they are just like honey.


Yom Kippur - "We can always fix our mistakes!"

Through some rough play a toy got broken. Our friends expressed how sorry they were through drawing. We are sweet and even when we make a mistake we can always fix it!

Sukkos -" A hug from Hashem!"


We love getting and giving hugs. Hashem is giving us a hug in a Sukkah and he is always near us.



We learned a special song this week about how Hashem is always with us. With all that's going on in this world it is a good reminder that we trust in Hashem and is always giving us a 'hug'. Listening to our friends sing this song was so sweet and pure.

We believe in Hashem, we trust in Hashem
There never is a moment when,
when I am alone and I'm on my own
I believe and I trust in Hashem.
Because I understand that He's holding my hand
and every step is perfectly planned.
He's holding me tight so I'll be alright.
I believe and I trust in Hashem!

Chanuka- "I am brave like a Maccabee"

We asked our friends "Who remembered the Beis Hamikdash in our class?" The responses we heard and all their memories were amazing. We talked about what it was like to be a brave Maccabee. We can be brave too. Esther and Chana Rochel wanted to be brave and sing a song in  front of all their friends.



Tu B'shvat- "Our mitzvahs are like fruit from a tree"

Hashem loves when we do Mitzvah's! Adelle put her fruit mitzvah note on our tree!


Purim- "I am like Mordechai and Esther!"


At davening circle we revisited our Jewish Heroes from Purim time, Mordechai and Esther. WE do mitzvah's just like them!




Pesach- "We care like Moshe"

During Pesach we focused on the Jewish leader Moshe and how much he cared about the Jewish slaves. Yakov wanted to help Adelle put her lunch box up, this was a great time to talk about how important it is to care! Esther at snack time, showed everyone her water bottle and was so excited to talk about how Pharaoh had blood in his water not like her!






A great way to remember all we learned is through pictures! Our friends are so excited to have a picture memory book. Esther came up to show her friends her favorite memory. Adelle was thrilled to see her and her friends!


 Mazel Tov to our dear friend Yanky on the birth of his new baby brother ! He was so excited to show his friends a picture of the little cutie!





We will miss you Torah Tots, you are always in our hearts!
