Our featured book this week was The Aleph Bais Trip on the Aleph Bais Ship.
Children are introduced to the Hebrew letters through an exciting adventure as each Alef-Bais letter joins a voyage on a ship. Along the way, they become familiar with the names, order, shapes, and sounds of the Alef-Bais while seeing how every letter is unique and important. Through colorful illustrations, rhyming text, and imaginative storytelling, the book builds early Hebrew literacy, memory, and a love for learning Torah.
The children were invited to draw the hebrew letter that their name starts with, and imagine where they would sail if they were the captain of the ship!
We made alef Beis cookies!
We used boxes to make our own imaginary Ships! Boxes are in invitation for children to develop creativity, imagination, and problem-solving as children transform simple materials into their own unique creations. Building and pretending with boxes also strengthens teamwork, communication, and cooperative play while bringing their ideas to life.
This week we explored ice at the outdoor water table, discovering how it melts, and changes from a solid to a liquid! It was so much fun and a great way to beat the heat!
On this weeks theme, we wrote our names in Hebrew using the aleph bais and turned them into one of a kind keychains!
It was exciting to watch our artwork shrink as it was baked in the oven, using Shrinky Dink paper!
Trip to the Park
Tisha B'av
We learned about why the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed so many years ago, and what we can do to rebuild it. We listened to the story of Kamtza and Bar-Kamtza, of how hurt one of them felt when he was not welcome at the big party. It was because of this baseless hatred that the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed. We learned that it will be because of our LOVE for each other, even if we dont have a reason to love someone, we still need to be kind and love them. When we act in this way, we will merit to bring Moshiach and have the 3rd Beis Hamikdash.
We painted a beautiful Mural of the Beis Hamikdash, and had a visual showing how each mitzvah we do, adds another brick on the Beis Hamikdash!
Gymnastics
Children build strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness through fun gymnastics activities and an obstacle courses. As they throw bean bags, walk a line, and complete a somersault, they strengthen their listening skills and learn to follow multi-step directions. These activities also build confidence, focus, and perseverance.
