Parsha and raindrops


This week our class caught up on the past Torah portions and this week's Parsha Vayigash.
Morah Hadar, using puppets and role play to teach us about the 12 sons of Yakov.
We zoomed in on Yosef, who was so beloved to Yakov and he received a colorful coat as a gift. 
This brought jealousy from the other brothers and we learned a lot about what that can make us do.


Decorating Yosef's colorful coat.


Mendy, helped role play Yosef who was thrown into the pit by his brothers. This seemingly was a very dark time but it was all part of Hashem's bigger plan which was our big idea of this week. 



Yosef, ends up interpreting the King's dream and advises him what to do about the 7 years of famine coming and collect food to sell when it comes. Slowly the plan was coming to light as Yakov who thought Yosef passed away sent his sons to get food from Egypt and this was when Yosef can see if his brothers returned and did Teshuva. 

Leah, painting a gold goblet that Yosef planted in his brothers bag to see if they would stand up for him and save him which would really show him they mended their ways. 




This Friday, is the 10 of Teves which is a fast day to remember when the armies of Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem which was the start of the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash. 

We created a hands on way how we can work on REBUILDING the Beis Hamikdash. on our Kotel picture our friends can use a sticky note pad to add their Mitzvah as another brick to the Beis Hamikdash. 


Brian breaks are so important before we do any of our academics! Having fun doing the hoky poky and a karate class led by master Jack ;)


Kindergarten Kria 
Reading the 3 different vowels takes skill to remember each ones sound. 
Jack, used a straw to 'suck' up the matching sound to correct vowel circle.


Using our fine motor skills to revel and read the sound under each pom pom. 


Prk Kria
We did it! We are up to the next Kria book!


Learning the Hebrew letter kof this week. Creating one out of lego took extra skill.


Academics
Learning addition with stickers.



It is always so exciting when it rains at Gan! Catching the raindrops.


Enjoying a delicious hot cocoa inside.
