This week we began learning about Lag Baomer. The theme of Lag Baomer is friendship, which tied into a big Commitment to keep our friends safe, that we have been working on as a class.
Learning from Rabbi Akiva's students had a hard time with Ahavas Yisroel. It was hard for them to respect each other. Our commitment this week was keeping our friends safe.
Dotting the letters Lamed and Beis spelling the word Lev which means heart/love.
We learned how on the 32nd day of the Omer (32 is the numerical value of Lamed and Beis' which spells Lev/heart) the students of Rabbi Akiva acted with their heart to each other so they stopped dying.
Pasting foam hearts on our big heart
We made lemonade to teach us how even when something may seem sour there can always be a good sweet outcome.
We also learned the story of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (who was a student of Rabbi Akiva). Him and his son had to hide in a cave for many years which seemed not so good but in the end they learned so much Torah and became great people!!
Painting our own wooden people.
This teaches us how we are all so different with different colors. That can help us have so much love for each other
We have very artistic friends!
Our friends worked on a home-made puzzle of our class.
All our friends are an important piece in our school and make up our family.
Our very own cave!
fun imaginary play!
Thank you Morah Aurora for bringing in a "Safe Space Tent"
Sometimes our friends need quiet time or space and this is a place for them to feel that in a safe way :)
