Sensory Simanim (Symbolic holiday foods)
Preparing for Rosh Hashana -Pre-K took a very hands on approach to the holiday, by having a very sensory focused week. Sensory play and experience involves smell, touch, sight, sound and even taste. By incorporating our learning into these simanim, the children become familiar and excited about these holiday objects.
Moshe uses small objects to visualize the three different shofar sounds.
Last week we started to discuss how the shofar sounds like a baby crying. We are crying to Hashem to forgive us and have a sweet year full of mitzvos!
Baby's cry because they need something. To eat, to sleep or.... a diaper change!
Experimenting to see how full a diaper can get.
Guessing how many drips it will take to fill up the diaper.
Eventually it was taking a long time so we all used droppers to fill it up.
Emma was surprised at how heavy the diaper got,
but she said her sister's diaper is sometimes heavier :)
Cutting open the diaper was a fun sensory experiment!
Batya told us it felt like snow!
Apples and Honey
Mina reads the recipe to see what step she needs to follow
to make her apple scented playdough.
Spencer measures out the apple conditioner
Emma helps the bee's find their number home in the hive.
Tamar uses pins to give the bee a smiley face.
Using hex-nuts to create the shape of a pomegranate.
Mendel creates a fish using pattern blocks.
Buzzing like Bees and landing on the right Aleph Beis Letters.
