A wet wonderful week!

This week at Gan we learned about Parshat Noach.

After Hashem created the world all the people were choosing only to do bad with out fixing their mistakes. Hashem really wanted people to do good in this beautiful world.

Hashem made the decision to clean the world and start fresh. 

Our sensory table was a great way to discuss Hashem's rain.

Hashem didn't just bring rain we learned about what a flood is. It would cover the whole world. 

We invited friends to create a rain scene and watch the water drip down from the cotton ball clouds. 

Noach, who was the righteous man in the world was chosen to warn the people what was going to happen. He was laughed at but continued to do his job by building a big boat, a teiva. 

Eliara, creating big clouds.

While talking a lot about water it was fun to feel different forms of water, ice. 

Watching the ice melt and creating an art piece with different beautiful colors. 

What was on this boat?

Reuvi, helped us act out each floor of this boat. 

The top floor was where Noach and his family lived, the middle floor was where all the animals stayed. If it was a Kosher animal there were 7 and non kosher animals were 2 each. 

Avigail, showed us the bottom level was where all the garbage went. This was a big job for Noach and his family but they were excited to finally have a world where they can do Mitzvahs and have people who can live with each other. 

Helpers create a big beautiful bulletin board. 

The end result. 

One of our big ideas this week was what happened after the flood. Hashem showed them a rainbow representing that He will not send another flood and now it was time to brighten the world with colorful and beautiful mitzvahs. Our rainbow mitzvah notes being showcased on all the gorgeous colors our friends helped make. 

Creating our own Teiva boats!

Discovering all the colors of the rainbow using magnet tiles on our light table. 

In honor of the Parsha we had some animal visitors. Morah Rachel brought in her cats and we learned all about the care they need. We tried to picture Noach caring for ALL the types of animals and realized how miraculous this was.
