This weeks Torah portion came to life on so many different levels.
We started off with a puppet show about a special man named Noach. He did many sweet things in this world. He was very different though to all his neighbors, and the rest of the people in the world. The other people were only interested in acting very unkind.
Hashem decided to 'wash the world clean'.
Menucha and Rozie helped us decorate big raindrops for our ceiling decorations.
A fun rain activity! Water droppers in a clean empty wipes container was a fun way to squirt rain drops coming down from the cotton ball clouds!
Shaving cream clouds!
Water beads. Such a great sensory experience!
Yehudis working on her Teiva project.
Hashem commanded Noach to build a Teiva- Ark . There were three floors:
Top floor- Noach and his wife Na'ama and their three sons
Middle floor- All the animals
Bottom floor- Trash
Blocks and animals
This was a great way for the children to review the story with their own imagination.
Team work!
Building a big 'teiva' together.
This was also a great review to learn all the names of the animals.
Learning through play
Devorah Leah added a colored window block to the top of her Teiva. In the real Teiva there was also a special stone that would light up when it was dark and dim when it was day. This was the only way to tell if it was day or night since the stormy floods made it dark all the time.
Bela Riva learning about our Bearded dragons, they were on the Teiva too!
Muka and Max learning about balance while trying to make a Teiva together.
Cloud sensory experience!
After the flood, Hashem showed them a beautiful Rainbow! This was a sign that Hashem will never bring a flood again! Now it was their job to fill the world up with a lot of beautiful Mitzvahs.
Rainbow art
We had a lot of fun making a big rainbow out of shaving cream, glue and food coloring!
Rolling out the dots of paint and watching a rainbow form!
Happy birthday to Levi Yitzchak who turned 4 this week!
Levi Yitzchak's Safta from Israel brought a harp and played beautiful music and let the children try too! What a treat!!
