We’ve had another wonderful week in the Green Room!
Here at CJP we are doing an incredible project. We are doing a “gift exchange” of sorts with another Chabad school in Long Island. We wanted to make our friends across the country something that is reflective of our lives here in the desert. We decided to showcase the nature existing in our outdoor classroom. We went outside to collect flowers and leaves that had fallen to the ground. The bougainvillea plant right outside was perfect for this project! We love how the beautiful pink leaves hold onto their pigment even after they fall from the tree.
Back in our classroom, we worked together to stick them onto contact paper. We’re still working on this project, and we know how much our friends in Long Island will appreciate a piece of desert to display in their classroom.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, we’ve been talking a lot about gratitude and what it means to be grateful. Morah Gitty and I have been telling the friends that anyone or anything that you love is something to be grateful for. Here are some highlights of our conversations:
“I’m thankful for food. I love Oswald and broccoli.” -Mason
“I’m thankful for shul and chips. I love Eema.” -Gavi
“I love Shamos, the white and brown dog who’s super dirty.” -Alice
“I love the Minion playdough playset in the big box.” -Morgan
“I love to help dad clean up the leaves.” -Levi
“I love my phone, my lunchbox, Daddy and Mommy.” -Ava
“I’m thankful for Sippy, Collette, and Esme. They’re my neighbors.” -Sarah
As for me, I’m so grateful to be here at CJP! Today, as I was tucking one of our friends into bed for nap, they whispered: “I love you Morah Deena.” Who could ask for more?
Have a great weekend, and Shabbat Shalom!
Morah Deena and Morah Gitty
