Oops, I'm Sorry!

Yom Kippur is almost here!

Our big idea this week was we are all friends,  even when we make a mistake! 

How can we fix our mistakes?

Singing a lot of friend's songs and talking about how we love each other.

What happens when we do make a mistake?

Our puppets helped our friends understand different emotions and how it feels when someone hurts us or hurts our feelings. It's interesting to watch our friends faces automatically mimic the puppets emotions. It's so fascinating to watch how the puppets bring out empathy and relatable feelings.

Role playing the puppet show during free play by the toys. We invited a lot of puppets to join to observe what would unfold.

Yom Kippur Shul

We invited our friends to play in our Yom Kippur shul. In this center we learned how to sit in our seat when we are in shul, how to have quiet voices and how to be a leader being the Rabbi.

Shua wanted to take Chaim the puppet into shul with him.

Menachem calling up his friends to daven with him.

Shua blowing the shofar that we will hear at the end of Yom Kippur.

Menachem, learning we wear slippers. It was fun to try on different sizes and textures.

Some people have a custom to wear write on Yom Kippur representing the angels.

Some of our fathers will wear "Kittle's"- a white garment worn to shul on Yom Kippur.

We talked a lot about the color white while experimenting the contrast on black paper.

Menachem having fun finding the Rabbi's in white under the shaving cream.

We placed a Machzor (a prayer book used on Yom Kippur) on the play dough table with the Alef Beis to inspire our friends about what is inside a Machzor.

Some friends made stamped alef beis.

Our friends made their own 'Oops i'm sorry book' This was a way for them to retell the story of our puppet show and review what happens when we make a mistake.

Menucha, loved decorating the cover of her book. Chana using her book at circle time.

song:

Oops I'm sorry

oops I'm sorry

what did I do?

what did I do?

I didn't mean to hurt you

I want to make it better.

I made a mistake,

I'll fix my mistake!

Menachem fixing his mistake by sweeping up his cheerios!

We love watching our bearded dragon eat! He eats lots of growing food!
