The King is in the field

 Now that we are in the Hebrew month of Elul, it was the perfect time to teach the kids how close we are to Hashem and we can ask for anything! First we learned what a King is. Morah acted out as a king and we learned some etiquette how to properly behave in front of one. We repeated "Yes, your highness" many times ;)  To help the children understand the concept of "The king is in the field"  We discussed places where we aren't allowed to go into.  For example, the Morah's room and the office etc.. We compared it to the kings palace as a similar idea! It is very hard to get in the palace, we need appointments and special permission. The field is different though, we don't need any permission! we can just run freely through it. Hashem being in the field (during this month of Elul) shows us how we don't even need special permission to be so close to Him, we can run right up to Him at any time!

We davened outside to get a feel of us being in a field :)

Crown arts n' craft

The children glued the the pompoms on the circles drawn on the crown.

"King in the field project"

We made a perfect place for all the Mitzva notes! This was a a great way to showcase what it's like to be in the field with Hashem! We come close to hashem with our our Mitzvos!

We took out magnifying glasses and had pictures of fields and Palaces. We used it as a tool to show us how close and far we can be with the King. We compared the palace with many windows and doors to the field where we can go wherever we want. 

ALEPH BEIS

We started out first letter this week! 

The "Aleph" 

We introduced it by having a visual for the kids how Hashem created the world with all of the letters. with a lamp we created the illusion of the Aleph coming out of it. This helped them understand how the world did not exist until Hashem brought it to life with the Letters.

We learned that the top Yud is Hashem and the Bottom Yud is us, we discovered how to keep us connected to Hashem by learning his Torah we build the strong attachment. 

Diving into the Chassidus of the Aleph Beis, we discovered how the Aleph was made up of 3 letters. 

two "Yud's" and a "Vov". Morah hid the letters and then the children found in the room, They worked together to put them together to create the Aleph!
