This week we started off by reflecting on Purim. Before we jumped into the next unit each child came up and either told us or drew what their favorite part of Purim was. This was a great way to reflect and process it now being over.
Ido, told us about his abba and Yosef, made himself dressed up.
We started the Pesach unit by creating desert experiences by center time and our block area turned into Mitzrayim (Egypt).
During snack time we talked about how hard working and strong everyone is. Mordy, came up and showed us he can even pick up a heavy box. While he did it we cheered him on! We compared that to when Avraham came up and did the same thing and worked really hard but this time we introduced King Paroh- he was not encouraging at all!

Role playing what the Jewish people felt like working for Paroh in Mitzrayim.
The Jewish people felt sad a lot. They wanted to do Mitzvahs and be with their family but they had to listen to king Paroh.
What do tears taste like? Ayal, helped us by adding salt to water and when we tasted it, it reminded us of salty tears. During the seder we will taste this by Karpas when we dip a potato or onion in the salt water.
Moshe, the Jewish leader during that time was quite a contrast in personality. While Zalman worked hard on his building, Eli role played Moshe who offered him water after working so hard and told him not to worry Hashem will help us!
We learned this week about the concept of choice. Ariella showed her friends what it's like to have a choice and which toy she wants to play with. We are so lucky we can choose but the Jewish people had no choice.
Documenting what they would like to choose to do.
Our centers were filled with a lot of building opportunities. Axel and Ayal building with shaving cream!
Nechama, using sand to hold up her blocks.
Making delicious Challah!
Good Shabbos!
