Mitzvah Street- at mini Gan Izzy this summer!
Each week we will explore another "Street " that will teach us all about a different Mitzvah. Our Mini Gan Bus with all our friends faces on it began at "Brachos Blvd"
Did you know that it's a mitzvah to thank Hashem for our food, every time we eat! And there is a different blessing we say to thank Him- depending on which food it is!
In addition to welcoming and transitioning many new friends, our goal this week was to help the children learn the difference between which foods grow in the ground "Adama" and which foods grow on a tree "Eitz."
Puppet teaches us about "Brachos" (Blessings)
During circle time our puppet friend, "Benny Bracha Boy" introduced all of our friends to the blessing of "Ha-adama" (for foods that grow in the ground.)
Watching the vegetables go into "Benny Bracha" mouth!
He then took us out to our own garden and we got to see some of the plants we grew!
Ava found a pea in the garden!
We got to taste some of the vegetables we picked.

Fine Motor - Fruit Seed Game
Tweezing and Counting the correct number of seeds to match the number of dots on the fruit!
"Taking the learning Home"
The children made handprint trees as the background for a "Brachos sorting game" that will be sent home today! With a painted "Adama" (ground) and "Eitz" (tree), we created a velcro matching game for the children to be able to practice their blessings at home!
There is a selection of "vegetables" and "fruits" that the children are invited to velcro stick into the correct place, while reciting the correct blessing!
