Matzah factory!
The children painted a big box that transformed into the matzah oven.
The first reaction to seeing dough on the table was "Challah dough for Shabbat!"
This was a great hands on way to learn the difference between Challah and Matzah.
Matzah has to be made with only flour and water and under 18 minutes. (In contrast to Challah has many other ingredients, and is allowed to rise for a long time!)
Eva and Muka making sure their matzah was flat!
Working together bringing out discussions about what we learned on Pesach.
Levi Lubin and Levi A creating holes to make sure it doesn't rise in the oven!
Devorah Leah was waiting for the timer to ding for it to be ready!
With pictures from a real Matzah factory the children figured out on their own how to stick the dough on their sticks to place in the hot oven.
Levi wanted Elizabeth to check out his matzah before going in the oven!
We placed ticking timers around the Mini factory to make sure the process was fast and that their matzah wouldn't turn into Chometz!
Learning numbers by setting it to the right time.
Evi seeing if his matzah was ready!
They had so much fun seeing the full circle of making the matzah and then placing it in the Matzah box when done and finally delivering it to their seder meal!
Enjoying their hard work
Levi's Abba got to have some fun in the Matzah factory! :)
Lately some of the children in the class have loved the feeling of burying their legs in the sand ...
Highlights of Circle Time
We have a roster/schedule for each day of the week- that reminds us of something special that we do by our davening circle. This helps them learn the days of the week as well as maintain enthusiasm in davening to Hashem.
Tuesdays are our instruments day!
The joys of working together...
