We have been learning about the Presidency and the White House

 Playing a Presidential themed matching game.

Since it was raining on Tu Bshvat (which we were so happy the trees were getting to drink) we waited patiently for the sun to come out  so we can plant!

Playing football together!

How are you feeling?

We were so excited when the sun came out in the beginning of the week, so we could catch up on all our Tu B'shvat  planting! The process of planting provides great skills. Learning how to dig just enough, spatial awareness to make sure we give each seed enough space. Most importantly, patience while we wait for it to grow!

This week we focused on our emotions! We have so many different types of feelings and sometime in a matter of minutes! Learning to identify them and allow all of them to feel safe was our main goal.

Creating a fun project showcasing what they were feeling that morning.

Happy Tu B'shvat and grandparent's party!

Our friends have been working really hard on their Tu B'shvat art pieces. First, they painted the sky than with branches from our dried up grape vine they created their very own unique tree. Lastly, fun wooden buttons became the leaves and fruits of their gorgeous tree.

This week we focused on the 7 fruits of Israel.

Getting to come up and taste some of them was a fun treat.

The grapes were a hit!

Teamwork makes the dream work.

We divided a beautiful tree picture into different part so all our friends were able to create their part on a canvas and we will be putting it together to create a Tu B'shvat scene. 

We want to thank seniors from our community for coming to our party for those who didn't have grandparents close by.
