"Lag Ba'omer has been a hot topic in our class this week, especially since we talked a lot about fires! Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, a student of Rabbi Akiva, was a holy Rabbi and the author of the Zohar. His Torah brought tremendous light into this world, and we learned about his amazing life story. It is customary to create bonfires on Lag Ba'omer. Chaya Leah created a bonfire, and all her friends gathered around it!"
Creating a bon fire using recycled objects and paint.
We had a lot of fun sensory experiences this week and fire colors.
These past two weeks, as we prepared for Lag Ba'omer, we really focused on loving and respecting each other. Each time a child accomplished this, they got to put their name on a log in our classroom 'bonfire' . It was so sweet to hear, one morning, all our friends cheering for Mendy when he received a log!
This week, there was a special date in the calendar called Pesach Sheni (A second Pesach) ! This holiday was originally created for those who were unable to participate in the Passover offering, Hashem added this Mitzvah all because a group of Jewish people wanted a second chance!
This is such a powerful lesson!
Each child was invited to come up and draw what it means to them to have a second chance.
Mendy “When I want to play with pirates I can use him for good instead of bad.” Nechama “Sometimes I don’t want to play with my sister, but I can always have a second chance and be nice.”

We also learned the lesson to never give up!
Our friends were invited to draw what they would never give up on.

Kindergarten Kria
We learned the last vowel of Shuruk!! Since it has the same sound as Koobotz it was fun to differentiate while reading.
Coding fun!
