Anji Play!

This week in the Green Room we prepared for Mother's Day by creating our surprise gift for Mom.  We painted pot holders so that she can use them while baking delicious cookies and cupcakes.  Nosson pointed out that his mom makes the best cupcakes!  We were so excited to present them at the Muffins with Mom event at school.  We also did a lot of sensory play this week.  We mixed water and corn starch and played with the goo that it created.  It was very cool to see how on the pan it feels solid but when you pick it up it turns into liquid.  The Green Room loves science!

Outside this week the Rainbow Room created an amazing zipline.  We had so much fun playing with it and trying to slide down it.  We sent pipes down the zipline and balanced on tires while holding on.  This outdoor play was so wonderful for our gross motor development including balancing and we worked together building teamwork skills!

Ben and Nosson balance on the tires while holding onto the zipline.

Everest circles a tire and didn't fall once!

Shimmy was one of our first friends to get to work!

Shira balanced on one foot while helping the pipe move down the line.

Our friends began using teamwork and working with the Blue Room to help them play too.

Vella shows Alice and Scarlett how to balance.

We have been working a lot on our Hebrew vocabulary this week as well.  Our friends sing a song every morning that allows us to practice vocabulary words and use them in a sentence.  You can ask your children what the following words mean in Hebrew:

1. Table (Shulchan)

2. Chair (Kisay)

3. Book (Sefer)

4. Water (Mayim)

5. Head (Rosh)

6. Eyes (Einayim)

7. Ears (Osnayim)

8. Nose (Af)

9. Mouth (Peh)

10. Hands (Yadayim)

11. Legs (Raglayim)

Shabbat Shalom and have a great weekend!
