How to Be a Good Citizen
This week we continued the story of the first Jew: Avraham.
Avraham decided that it was time for his son Yitzchak to get married. So he sent his servant Eliezer to his hometown to look for a wife there. The journey was supposed to take 17 days, but Hashem made a miracle and it took only 3 hours. Eliezer brought gifts of camels and jewelry for the girl that he would find.
We imitated Eliezer's journey in the sand with our fingers.

Eliezer had to take care of many camels. Do you know how much water a camel drinks?
30 Gallons!!
Water Play helps the children understand the quantity of water needed to feed the camels. Yisroel filled/emptied and refilled the water bottle MANY times, to transfer the water from one trough to another!
Making bracelets and necklaces like Eliezer gave to Rivka
When Eliezer arrived to Charan he was standing by the well. Eliezer wasn't sure how to find the right girl, so he Davened to Hashem to give him a sign show him the right one! Suddenly he saw Rivka coming to the well, Eliezer went up to her and asked for water Rivka gave Eliezer water and offered his 10 camels to drink. Eliezer understood that this is a sign from Hashem that Rivka is the right girl.
This was a sign that she was the right person!
This was a sign that she was the right person!
We practiced offering our friends water too.
Rivka offering Eliezer water
They were not such nice people, but they saw Eliezer was wealthy and eventually they let Rivka go. Hashem made the miracle again and the trip was shortened. The moment that Rivka entered Sarah's tent all the miracles that had stopped when she passed away started again! The Shechina (Hashems cloud of glory) came to rest on the tent, the shabbat candles stayed lit all week, and the challah she made was always enough for everyone.

Hebrew Reading
This week we started our new Capit Hebrew Reading program. Each day we learn a new letter and its sound. Each night we practice it by doing homework.
We get a little toy or prize to help us remember the sound!
Ah - like the sound we make at the Doctor (using a tongue depressor)
Uh like when we say "Umbrella " ⊤
We had so much fun with our mini umbrellas!
Aleph makes no sound א
We used band-aids to form the letter shape,
and to seal our mouth so no sounds would come out!
How to be a Good Citizen
We had to work together and cooperate to build a circle in only two minutes
Our Aleph Bais Helper does his job well!
Being responsible means listening to the Morah and following directions.
Morah Avigail read us a book that really made us think!
Mathematicians at Work
Freeze Dance!
When the music stops point to the number Morah Avigail says!
Yisroel worked hard counting out each block, to measure each objects length, and then remarked,
"There are so many orange blocks!"
"There are so many orange blocks!"
Working hard to figure out which combination of numbers can make 8?
ABC's are Such a Breeze
We are moving on to sounding out words!
Check out this cool game we played!
CapIt is definitely helping with that!
We brought in so many things that start with "B"
Thank you Mommies and Daddies for helping with that!
One of the afternoons we creating a story from our imagination. We went around and each child picked a toy from the ''B'' pile and incorporated it into the story.
A game that uses your whole body! Yisroel found the match
Veterans Day-
