Jewish shapes fun!



The next two weeks we'll be having a lot of fun learning about shapes! There will be a fun Jewish twist to every shape we learn. This week we focused on Circles, Squares and Rectangles.

Mr. Circle came off our bulletin board to teach us all about how round he is. He was quite hungry and only wanted to eat circle food, Yakov helped him out with that.



Creating circles in salt. Was fascinating watching them figure out if they shook the tray it all disappeared! 


Shapes hopscotch! Menucha, getting good at her gross motor skills by getting ready to jump into two circles.

Tzedakah took on a whole new discussion as we noticed all the circles. Menachem "My circle coin is going into the circle top of the Tzedakah box!"




Mr. Rectangle helped us learn the difference between the square and rectangle. Shua, jumping into the rectangle and Yakov, showed us which is the square.



Using cars to drive on the sides was a fun way to see how the rectangles have longer sides.


                                                

                      Working in our Jewish shapes book. Ben, creating his rectangle Torah.


                                             Noticing the rectangle shape on our Torahs.


                                                      

                                         Yakov creating a square and rectangle robot.

                                                     

Practicing our shapes by matching magnet tiles to a cookie sheet puzzle.



Having sensory fun using shapes and play dough and creating shapes in the shaving cream.


Painting on an upside down plastic wrapped table. Learning responsibilities by cleaning up after ourselves.


We noticed some of our toys had a square shaped end, we dipped it into paint to see the square.


Shua, working on his book and creating a square house to invite friends in.
