Alef Beis Everywhere!



Alef Beis unit 


Alef beis in salt!

We placed Montessori alef beis letter boards that the children can feel with their finger and try to create it in the salt. Salt was a great way to draw and practice since just by giving it a shake it 'cleaned the slate'.

Levi Yitzchak figuring how much space he needed to create the whole Lamed letter in his salt. 



 It was also a fun place to just create the picture they wanted!

Alef beis letters were hiding under the shaving cream! It feels so good!





Lilah found her letter tes!



Alef Beis bingo

Bingo was a great way to practice recognizing our Hebrew letters, taking turns and  using fine motor skills trying to get the small pieces on the right letter!!





Menucha helping Dovi find the right alef beis letters on the puzzle!




Alef beis and clean up!

Our learning opportunities are not just during circle time but every chance we get to increase our letter recognition and make sure all types of learners get a change to 'get it'!
After clean up, each child receives a sticker to place on their chart. This week each child had to find 'their' letter to receive their clean up sticker.





Muka working hard placing pom poms on the alef beis tape.




The Montessori alef beis letter boards created a fun game on the floor. Max was trying super hard to create the letter samach with the different size pieces.



Devorah Leah figured out how to make a Kuf!



Bridging school and home

Chani was so excited that she brought in a letter Tes card from home. She wanted to find the matching letter on the chart.

She kept on noticing throughout the class 'her' letter Tes! 



Alef Beis art

For those who love art we placed paint and letters all over the table to decorate.


Our art center was a great way to color and talk about the letters.


In the afternoons, Morah Michaela will be focusing on each letter and making sure our four year olds recognize and know the letters of the Alef beis!



Happiest month of the year, Adar!

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar we had a Jolly Jumps! 

Just getting INTO the jolly jumps was great gross motor practice!



The Joy!


Waiting patiently on line while balancing on the jolly jumps takes a lot of skill ;)


Elizabeth needed some assistance getting up the ladder. It was so sweet to watch her friends trying so hard to get her up!
