Shana tova


SHANA TOVA! 

We would like to say a special thank you to Mr. Zeke for coming to our classroom to show us different type Shofarim. 

Some were "SHORT"




Some felt "BUMPY"
Some felt "SMOOTH"
Some where"LONG"




But they all made a very LOUD sound.
On Tuesday we got straight to work in the morning baking our round challah for ROSH HASHANA. We added raisins to make it extra sweet to have a sweet good year.






















 Morah Rivky does calendar with us everyday going over the year, months, day of the week, and date each day. She put up the days of rosh hashana and all our nursery friends counted down the days to the jewish New year.
On Tuesday we welcomed the new month in our Jewish calendar. The first month of the year chodesh Tishrei (Chodesh = month in Hebrew).




For a special treat we all enjoyed watching a "SHALOM SESAME" video about ROSH HASHANA




Wishing you all  
 SHANA TOVA VEMETUKA LOVE
 MORAH LEAH & MORAH RIVKY!

Color Blue and Breakfast Skills

 This week learned the color BLUE. We looked at a BLUE Circle and a BLUE Square. We looked at a box full of BLUE objects.

A BLUE crayon
 In our classroom we have three different colored tables. We have the RED table, the YELLOW table, and the BLUE table. Now that we know all three of these colors we know who sits at which color table.
 Morah Rivky showed us the three different colors of the tables. We each got a turn to say each color and put our picture on the color table we sit at.

 At breakfast time we are learning how to feed ourselves. We learned that we have a bowl, spoon, and cup that we use for breakfast. We learned how to take one piece of cheese at a time from the serving plate. This week we started learning how to pour our own milk into our cereal bowl and cup. This is a very hard skill but with practice, We know we will get it.
