The Journey to Mitzrayim
In this weeks Parsha we learn about the journey of the B'nei Yisroel going down to Mitzrayim (Egypt).
When Yosef revealed himself to his brothers, the brothers were embarrassed.
Yosef right away asked, "Is my father alive"?
The brothers answered, "Yes!"
Yosef told his brothers that he forgives them for throwing him in the pit and that it was really Hashem's will so he can provide food for his family.
Yosef asked the brothers to bring back his father and the whole family to live in Mitzrayim. Yosef said that he would take care of the family and they would live in Goshen the most beautiful place in Mitzrayim.
Serach the daughter of Asher played the harp for Yakov. That is how she gave over the exciting news about Yosef to Yakov, in a very gentle way.
Yakov was so happy about the news but he didn't want to leave Eretz Yisroel. Yakov had a dream and Hashem came to him and told him not to be afraid of going to Mitzrayim, because in Mitzrayim the B'nei Yisroel will grow and become a big nation. Hashem sent us to Mitzrayim/Galus in order to take us out of Mitzrayim/Galus.
Aleph Beis
This week we had a lot of fun learning and practicing the Aleph beis.
Each child got to be a mini Morah by showing a card with a letter on it and their friend got to say the name of that letter and spell it in different ways.
Motty is doing a great job being the mini Morah! Bela Riva is using buttons to make the letter ט Tes and Yisroel is using clay to make the letter ג Gimel.
Dovi is the mini Morah and Yisroel is writing the letter פ Pey in shaving cream.
Malka is holding the card so nicely for Rozie to write the letter נ Nun in salt and Dovi is using clay to make the letter ה Hey.
Writing In English
This week we started learning the rules and how to write a sentence.
Bela Riva is trying her best and she did it!
Reading and relaxation in the library after lunch.
Thank you Morah Davinah for going to the library and picking out the best books ever!
Early literacy puzzles combine pictures and words,
so eager learners can practice "gluing together sounds"
On their own Motty, Yisroel and Dovi separated all the puzzles into different categories: animals, cars, food, other things. They then played a game that one friend picks a picture from the puzzles and they all need to act it out.
Shapes
Our class loves learning shapes. When it's time to put away the workbooks the children do not want to stop. This week we discovered that a pentagon has 5 sides and 5 corners.
Dovi and Yisroel worked very hard on building this house but when it was time to clean up they worked just as hard on cleaning it up! We are so proud.
Exercising with our stress balls,
gives us a great transition to our next activity.
Aleph Beis Adventures:ט
This week we are focusing on the letter "tes" through the medium of a taleh- טלה
(lamb).
Our miniature טלה are searching in their field for their favorite type of aleph-beis letter.
Menachem uses a dot marker to color all of the sections with a "tes" in it
to reveal the hidden picture.
I is for Ice/ Ice cream
We explored with Ice in this freezing cold sensory table, but for some reason it kept disappearing! Mendel noticed that when we put ice and water in the funnel, only the water went through, but the ice got stuck.
Using a foam bead putty to make an ice cream cone
Mendel fine tunes his fine motor skills and follows the pattern to make a 3-d I.
Tk was inspired to draw our own patterns to follow afterwards.
Using sensory fluffy paint to paint ice cream.
This was so much fun to swoosh and explore with.
The excitement lasted through the whole day!
Menachem uses a wet paintbrush to trace over the letters of his name.
He needed to use his whole body to focus and move to each new letter.
