With Lag Baomer around the corner we focused on a holy Rabbi named Rabbi Akiva.
We learned about how he started his journey at age forty.
We took this opportunity to surround ourselves with the holy letters of the Alef Beis and learn the first few.
Yakov, brought the Rabbi Akiva puppet with a Torah to circle time. Chana, wanted the Rochel puppet (Rabbi Akiva's wife) who fully supported Rabbi Akiva's journey to be coming one of the most famous Rabbis.
Alef beis play dough.
Menachem, made an alef beis pointer.
Shua, using his atzbaot (finger) with adom (red) paint on the Alef.
Buttons on the Beis.
It's always great to bring our learning outdoors. Our friends found chalk beis they could paint with water.
Geshem (rain) inspired art on the gimmel.
Yakov, figuring out how to make his play dough snake into a gimmel.
Creating the letter gimmel with manipulatives and working together.
Painting the letter Daled with devash (honey)
Was fun to taste as well! The hebrew letters are sweet and pure!
We are told that letters of the Alef beis are extremely holy. Hashem contracted his infinite light multiple times in order to create the letters.
Our Hebrew names are an extension of our holy soul. We took this opportunity to focus on each child as an individual and talk about what letter begins their name.
Ben proud of his letter Beis!
