It's never too late!

This week we started our Lag B'aomer unit.

We have been counting the Omer everyday from after Pesach till the holiday of Shavous! Ella, helping Morah place our footstep numbers going up the mountain where we will receive the Torah on Shavous.

We began learning about Lag Ba'omer, focusing on the special story of Rabbi Akiva. He was a famous Rabbi with thousands of students, and we still learn his teaching today. He didnt start out that way, Rabbi Akiva only began learning Torah at the age of 40!

Rabbi Yosef came in dressed as Rabbi Akiva and role played not knowing the Alef Beis.

He never game up and even with a late start he became one of the most famous Jewish Rabbis in our history. 

Reuvi, helped Rabbi Akiva find the Alef for his name.

During the whole week we showcased these holy Alef Beis letters that were created by Hashem and given to us.

During circle time, our friends had fun showing the Rabbi Akiva puppet where their first letter of their name was.

Oliver, matching the Alef Beis.

Working hard on our miniature Alef Beis book.

Learning our shapes while learning our letters.
