Yom Kippur Unit
With Yom Kippur approaching and only a few days of school we focused on the idea of "I made an oops, and I can fix it." Recognizing the mistakes we make and owning up to ourselves is what Yom Kippur is all about. Its a good thing we work on this everyday in our Gan family ;) We are human and we are not meant to be perfect, Hashem loves us no matter how small or big our oopsies are! It is up to us to do something about it. In our class we witnessed a lot of growing moments with our friends fixing their oops. When we stand up for ourselves and make the safe choices with our friends we become leaders and sometimes its hard, Hashem gives us the strength to become even stronger than we were before.
Working on our Yom Kippur book by tracing the dotted Aleph Beis letters.
On Yom Kippur we learned that our fathers and Mothers fast as well as don't wear leather shoes. We also wear white. This is because we try to be like angels on Yom Kippur! We want Hashem to see the pure neshama inside each of us, so by dressing in white and not eating- we appear more like the pure neshama that we are.

We enjoyed some puppet shows conveying the mentchies making oopsies and how to fix the oops.
