What can you learn from a mountain?

With Shavous around the corner we learned this week where Hashem wanted to gift us the  Torah.

Hashem choose a mountain. We should be proud and tall like a mountain. To practice this idea we called up friends and asked them to tell us what they were proud of.

Tal, made all his friends laugh which is a talent he has!

Our friends decorated different types of mountains using real pictures as inspiration. 

Oliver and Eliara worked on the grass and flower mountain.

Zalman saw a snow and ice mountain and using glitter and white objects recreated it.

Each mountain wanted to be chosen. We listened to each voice of being proud but haughty. 

Little Har Sinai represented something different. He was small but was proud of who he was since Hashem made him. 

Hashem taught us this beautiful lesson of balancing humility and being proud. 

Reuvi's smile says it all. 

Using a felt board to reenact the story of Har Sinai.

Ice mountains! 

Taking out recycling objects was a creative way to make mountains. Some of our friends turned into mountains!

Friends taking care of each other.

Sugar bug dental came to visit us this week and teach us all about our healthy teeth habits.

Lag BaOmer Parade 🔥

We finished our heart of mitzvos… and you know what that means? It was finally time for the Lag BaOmer Parade!

The children were so excited to walk proudly in the streets, holding the beautiful signs they made and showing such wonderful Jewish pride and spirit. We said pesukim together and sang songs! It was so special to celebrate our Yiddishkeit together with so much happiness and achdus (unity)!

We celebrated Lag BaOmer with a bonfire, songs, roasted marshmallows, and special stories shared by Rabbi Lang.

Mother’s Day is coming up, and the kids have been working hard on a special card and a beautiful jewelry plate for their moms.

Pre-K Kria

Mazal tov to our friends on completing his first Alef Beis book!🎉 They now get a brand new red book to complete the Alef Beis and received a special yummy treat of Alef Beis cookies!😋

K Kria

Practicing Hebrew with Buba (baby dolls) was a great way for the kids to connect, self-regulate, and learn through mirroring. We learned body parts in Hebrew, and the children were so gentle and caring with the bubas. Many of the kids have baby siblings at home, and it was so sweet to see their nurturing side shine through.

Academics

We had a “Write the Room” scavenger hunt for the planets in our solar system.

One of our Centers this week featured a count and graph game.

Aftercare

In honor of lag BaOmer The children made a fun and creative bon fire with yummy treats. They enjoyed building and decorating their own sweet creations, practicing what they would do, sharing, laughing and learning along the way. 

Hands on learning for heart filled celebrations 🔥❤️

Shabbat Shalom!

Bonfires and Mothers day!

We stared off the week celebrating Lag baomer!

Thank you Rabbi Lang for coming in and teaching us all about Lag baomer. We sang songs , said the Pesukim and ate delicious roasted marshmellows. 

Before we roasted marshmallows we practiced how to be safe around fire. 

During aftercare, we made edible bonfires!

Touching up our fine motor skills to help some of our friends get ready for Prk next year!

Look how I can use a scissor!

We love observing our friends grow in their social skills. This age we see them start by parallel  play to really engaging with one another. 

According to the Torah every day is Mothers day ;) We have a special Mitzvah to honor our parents every single day. That being said, we still had fun working hard on our Mothes day craft!

Happy 3rd Birthday Eliara!

Making homemade dough together. 

Shabbat Shalom!
