Happy Friday Green Room Families!

This week the Green Room Friends created some amazing crafts, and worked on new lessons. I
really enjoyed getting to know some of you during curriculum night. Thank you so much for
letting me be a part of your child’s daily life.

Crafts that were made by your child this week include:
● Clay Honey Dish
● Placemats
● Apple Coloring

Each of these crafts were made special for Rosh Hashanah. During community time we
talked about Rosh Hashanah and what the Holiday means. Each of your children were then
dismissed to create something beautiful for the table during their holiday meal. These three crafts
will all be sent home Friday, please check your child’s backpack as the clay bowls are very
delicate.

Lessons that were presented to your child this week include;
● Rosh Hashanah Holiday
● Timeline of our day
● Letter sounds/pictures A, B,C
● Numbers/Counters 1,2,3

Every Morning when we come inside from outdoor play the Green Room does four main
lessons. This week we focused on the Holiday of Rosh Hasanah and the meaning behind it. We
talked about the sweet foods we will be eating to celebrate, and sang songs to honor the special
day.
Our Green Room friends really like to know what is going to happen throughout their
day. I have recently created a picture timeline that we plan out together every morning so we are
all on the same page.
I come from a Montessori background and have found many ways to incorporate Reggio
with the Montessori style of learning. This week we started doing our very first Montessori
lessons with nature and loose parts: Letter sounds, and Numbers counters. I have posted some
pictures on CJP family group so that you can see first hand what these lessons look like.
Morah Sara and I look forward to hearing about your wonderful Holiday weekend.
Shana Tova!
