A cow comes to visit for Shavous!

Our class has been preparing for the Holiday of Shavous these past weeks. 

What a treat to be greeted with a cow to help us teach a custom we do on the Holiday.

The Jewish people when receiving the Torah now learned about keeping Kosher. There utensils were not Kosher now and until there kitchens were ready they ate dairy products.

Our friends named the cow "moola" and she helped us learn how we get milk. 

Where does all our favorite diary products come from?

Eliara helped us show our friends milk and how milk can turn into cheese. 

Avigail, choosing a dairy food she like and putting it on our Shavous plate!

We got to make our very own cheese cakes. Banging the crust layer.

Playing a hide the Torah game. Which mountain do you think the Torah is hiding under?

Hashem made Har Sinai beautiful with all types of flowers, we created our very own vases for our Shavous center pieces. 

We are so excited to receive the Torah! Inside we can find so many Alef Beis letters. We tried our best to trace letters using a feather attached to our pencils. A real sofer uses a special feather when he writes a Torah!

Making our own bubble snakes using a water bottle and socks!

A moment of growth, watching our friends organize a duck duck goose game all on their own.

Teamworking together!

A police officer came to visit us to say hello. 

We loved hearing about her job to help keep us safe.

 

Mountains, Mitzvahs and homemade Pita!

This week, we learned the story of how we received Hashem's precious gift of the Torah.

Our friends helped act out the story of each mountain trying to be picked for this special occasion of receiving the Torah. Most mountains were boastful being the tallest or widest . Little Har Sinai represented a mountain tall and proud while remaining humble. 

Ashira, helped us look inside the Torah and the holy special words that we received directly from Hashem through Moshe.

Yosef, showed us what different types of Torahs look from the outside. 

The Luchos (tablets) we received which were safire blue and the Hebrew letters miraculously were see through can can be read the correct way on both sides.

We created our very own luchos filled with Mitzvahs that they do!

Working hard portion controlling the glue so it did not go in the middle.

Using rocks to trace and try to find the right size. 

In our sensory bin we placed words and letters on rocks to see if our friends can build words!

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.
