Our biggest focus during the first weeks of school is providing the children with a sense of safety through visual schedules, predictability of what's coming next, and lots of connection between the Morah's and children.
Orientation allowed all of our friends to meet and greet, as well as enjoy a peek at the fun schedule that will take place at Gan!
Our friends hand's got traced with a special kiss from mommy onto it!
Eli was so excited to find his on the first day of school. This made the transition with out our parents so much more comforting.
We even found our pictures in the sand bin! This was a great way to invite conversations between our friends.
Mendy and Nechama, decorating their family photos and letting us know who everyone is.
With different Morah's for morning and afternoon, we made a Morah puppet show to showcase everyone's roles. Our friends will take home their own set and role play their names and jobs.
Getting to know our classroom. Mordy, enjoyed the sensory wall and Mendy and Yossi gravitated to our calming bucket.
