Celebrating , connecting with trees!

This week we continued our Tree unit in honor of Tu B'shvat!

Tree inspired art

One morning we placed an easel outdoors in close view of some trees. This was a one person activity. It was nice for them to have their own quiet space and draw while being inspired by the beautiful trees Hashem made.


 Muka adding grass and just like a true artist signed her name by her work!


Real branch twigs at the play dough table helped Max create his "spooky forest of trees".


Levi Yitzchak working hard making blooms on his Tu B'shvat hat.


 Seed exploration

Magnify glasses and tweezers were great mediums to discover different size and textures of seeds.


 Bela Riva enjoyed the challenge of removing the slippery butternut squash seeds and placing them in a container.
Faiga found the matching picture in a seed book.


 Edible fruit trees


Someone's excited that Tu B'shvat is coming!

On this day it is customary to partake of the fruit with which the Holy Land is praised (Deuteronomy 8:8): olives, dates, grapes, figs and pomegranates

Tasting delicious fruits under the tree.
