Using all our senses to learn about Pesach!

This week we have been really busy with our  Pesach preparations. 

Our friends helped us make a gorgeous Peasach bulletin board.

We used a big seder plate to learn about all the different items and what they represent.

Using all our senses while learning! We made charoses together and learned how it looks like the cement mixture the Jewish people had to work with in Mitzrayim.

We got to taste it delicious!

Using our writing and drawing skills while making our Hagaddah.

Making sure our surface and our hands are cleaned of any Chometz before working.

Using our hand eye coordination playing a 'I spot it' Pesach game.

Outside fun playing in pretend 'dam' the first plague of 'blood'.

Learning about Biyur Chometz, when we hide 10 pieces of bread all over the house to help us look to see if any Chometz is around our house before Pesach. Mendy cutting out 10 pieces for a fun hunt game.

This week we finished the Pesach story! 

After learning about the Maccos, King Paroh puppet came out in Pajamas and wanted the Jewish people to leave immediately. We were so excited to hear this news!

There was no time to even take our lunch boxes. We quickly headed through the Mitzrayim center and said goodbye but than we were faced with a big ocean in the classroom!

Hashem took care of us and split it so we can walk through!

We looked at all the sea creatures and were so grateful the shark stayed in the wall of water.

A miracle happened when our friends became thirsty Hashem provided a spout for us to drink we had little cups of water for the children to experience. Our friend Ayal, noticed a tree growing! We were able to have some delicious fruit on our travels as well! 

When we finally came out we broke out in song and dance with tambourines and thanked Hashem for all the miracles He had provided for us!

Making Matzah!

This week we continued the Pesach story.

Our friends were already familiar with King Paroh and Moshe now it was time to learn how Hashem helped the Jewish people. 

Avraham who role played Moshe telling King Paroh to let the Jews go out of Mizrayim. Levi, who was King Paroh said "No!"

Hashem sent a consequence to King Paroh and all of Mitzrayim- the Maccos! We learned the first two!

Ayal, poured water in King Paroh's cup and there was blood! This made King Paroh say "Go out of Mitzrayim" However, we learned the importance of keeping our word since he changed his mind as soon as Hashem took away the blood.

Next, Mordy pretended to be the servant to bring the King breakfast and there were frogs everywhere! This happened 10 times!

Making our very own frog project.

This week we also turned our dramatic play area into a Matzah factory!

We love focusing on the role model of the story and our big lesson for life. 

Moshe, who was the courageous leader who led us out of Mitzrayim by the guidance of Hashem has a piece of him inside each of us. 

We do a welcome connection ritual each morning and this week we added a mirror and told them how brave and strong they are as well!
