Hello Green Room families! Last Friday we celebrated Alice's 4th birthday. Alice, we wish you many, MANY more happy birthdays to come. We love you!
I feel like we were just celebrating Rosh Hashanah, but here we are getting ready for Pesach! Each friend got their own puzzle that looks like a piece of matzah with their name on it. The Green Room friends enjoy doing puzzles, and this was a fun way to mix it up.
In the story of the Exodus which we tell on Pesach, we remember that the Jewish people were slaves in Egypt. At this age, we do not use the word "slave," but we explain that Pharoh made the Jewish people work very hard, and he was not nice to them. Historically speaking, there is speculation as to whether or not it was the Jewish people who built the modern day pyramids currently located in Egypt. However, as a visual of Egypt in our room, we are looking at pictures of the pyramids. Here we see Ava and Mason building their own structures with Jenga pieces.
On Thursday we got to work making sand dough/mortar to explore. It is made out of sand, flour, oil, and water. Some of the friends pretended to make matzah with it!
In Arizona, we're no strangers to life in the desert! We know that summer will be here soon, so we're soaking up as much "spring" as we can. We're grateful every day for our outdoor classroom!
We hope that you have a wonderful weekend. Shabbat Shalom!
