Be our guest!

 

This week in Torah Tots, Parshas Vayeira came to life!

The very first Jewish couple, Avraham and Sara taught the world about who Hashem is. They had a tent with four doors that they would invite all types of people and offer them food and learn to bless Hashem for what we have.

Zalman and Yosef, acted as the guest to show our friends how kind Avraham and Sara were.



Role playing in the tent. The boys had fun trying to balance all types of objects and feeling very proud.



We learned Sara baked Challah just like we do! Using playdough and pictures for inspiration to make our own pretend Challahs.



Using puppets is a great way to bring up some big feeling we have in class and learning tools how to handle them. When our friends are in their frontal lobes during a neutral time that is the best way to learn and practice.



Laughing is the best way to learn!



Taking what we learned about Avraham and Sara and becoming hosts and how to invite guests over.
Our friends, worked really hard on an invitation to invite the Prk/ K class over for yummy cookies we made.

It took confidence to speak in front of our older friends.



Using art to learn about the Parsha. There was a cloud over their tent to show Hashem was always watching over them. 



Ayal, showing what he put in their tent! Sara's candles and Challah.



Levi, making a big Shabbos candle and seeing how many he can hold and balance.




Donuts for Dad was a hit!

Trust in Hashem!

This week's Torah portion  is Lech Lecha! Hashem tells Avraham to go from his home to a land that He will show him. That was a hard challenge but Avraham had a lot of trust in Hashem.  Hashem tested Avraham 10 times. 

Yossi and Mendy doing a trust exercise! 


The second test,  Avraham and Sara arrived in Eretz Israel and there was a famine, no water and no food. They could've complained to Hashem for sending them there. Did they lose their trust in Hashem? - NO WAY!


They than made their way to Mitzrayim.
The Third test was when King Pharaoh took Sara from Avraham.


Sara davened to Hashem and he sent an angel to strike Pharaoh! Pharaoh understood this woman was a Tzaddekes (righteous) and he sent her back to Avraham and he gave them expensive gifts!

Nechama and Yossi working on a desert scene.


Hashem gave Avraham a blessing that from him will come a big nation! So big like the amount of sand and the amount of stars in the sky!
Shai, writing letters in the sand!


A fun science experiment with stars using baking soda and vinegar.



All the boys came to school wearing blue!

This week we had a Tzeire Party! The kids got to ride the Tzeire bike!



We enjoyed a sweet treat while listening what Ziggawat was up to!








Hashems Stars !

 This week at Gan we learned about Parshas Lech Lecha. Avraham, the first Jew discovered who Hashem is and made it his mission to help the people of the world recognize the greatness of Hashem.

Is Hashem the sun? Is He the moon? Our friends knew right away how silly that sounded.



Taking the Avraham puppet around the classroom and showing where Hashem is! He is everywhere, so they had fun finding anything in the class they wanted! Yocheved Sara, said Hashem is in the library pillow. Levi, showed us the magnet toy.



We also learned Hashem gave Avraham a beautiful blessing. His future offspring will be as many as the sand on the ground and the stars in the sky!
Eli, trying to count the sand which was so hard to do.


The beautiful stars in the sky remind us how many the Jewish people will become!


We each are  one of those STARS!!
We invited each friend to get a personal song and special ride! Their faces said it all!


Working hard on our star hats and playing with sand in our sensory table.

                                 

Using our imagination with kinetic sand.



Friends davening together.


The boys were all matching one day in their blue shirts and black pants!


Our seven days of creation bulletin board!


Thank you Rabbi Lang for coming in and saying special Torah Pesukim for those effected by the fire.



Happy 3rd Birthday to Yosef Loshak!



Challah making for Shabbos!




Good Shabbos from our Shabbos Ima and Abba!
