Green Room Update 

The Green Room friends had a fantastic week. They explored new sensory objects, engaged in new math materials, worked diligently on their language folders, and enjoyed this week's Parsha “BO”, Lastly we started to understand the holiday of Tu’B Shavt. 

Our large sensory bin is full of fun Orbeez. The children have included jungle animals, and cooking wear into the bin to make it even more exciting for exploration. We have a new Math counting working that has been added to the shelf. This work is perfect for our friends, and they’ve enjoyed it greatly. Feel free to stay longer at drop off or at pickup and ask your child to show you their cool works! 

Language Folders have been such a success in our room. Each friend is thrilled to have their own folder with a new material each week special to them. To meet them developmentally right where they are.  I will be sending home some of the finished folder works next Wednesday. Keep a lookout! 

During this week’s Parsha we explored the story of “BO”. Morah Sarah talked with the children about honoring your elders, different types of wild animals, and three golden rules. 

Morah Sarah and I adore spending time with our friends, and look forward to a new week full of fun! 

Shabbat Shalom! 

Happy Friday Green Room Families

We are two weeks into the new semester, and all the children have adjusted well and are officially back into the groove. 

This week the Lessons included; Shape Sorting, Monster Numbers, Fruit and Vegetable Naming/Matching. I also added some fun works to the shelf such as Play-dough, Shaving Cream Fun, Rice sensory bin, and Cutting works! 

Morah Sara began the Topic of Shabbat with our friends this week. She has read two amazing books called “Ship Shape Shabbat” and “Hanna’s Sabbath Dress”.  She also had the children do some crafts, which were sent home day of. The crafts were Shabbat Candles, Flower Drawings, and Kiddish Cups (Pinterest fail, but the kids had fun making them). Next week Morah Sara is going to continue the topic of Shabbat with new crafts, and new stories. 

Show and Tell was a HUGE success! Each child presented their special object to their friends with such pride. They also were able to answer questions, and walk around the circle letting their friends explore the object for a minute. The following is your child’s day for the rest of the semester until Spring Break. 

Thursday- 
Mia 
Davis 
Leanna 
Ronan 

Friday- 
Mae 
Gavin 
Naveed
Angie 

Please place your child’s show and tell into a brown bag, and make sure their name is visible. You can leave the bag on the counter in our classroom on their day. Remember no breakables! 

Lastly, make sure to check out our documentation board in the hallway we are working on loose parts in a special way. 

Have a wonderful Shabbat, and I look forward to seeing you all Monday Morning! 

Warmly,

Happy New Year Green Room Families!

I am so happy to be back with your littles this week. I hope everyone had a fun and restful Winter Break!

This weeks main focus was just getting back into the swing of things with minimal new lessons. However, we added four new lessons to the shelf. Tonging, Geo Rocks, Heart Lacing, and lastly firefighter, and doctor trays.

Morah Sara and I also introduced Language Folders which will be used Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On these days there will be a new lesson for your child that is on their level. Morah Sara or Morah Brook sits down with your child for a one on one lesson, and work on our Letter Sounds. It’s great time for us to connect and learn together! Feel free to come anytime and check out your child’s folder to see what they are up too.

This week in the Green Room we learned about Parshas Vayechi.  We talked about how there were 12 tribes of Israel, each tribe was one of Yaakov's children. Each tribe would inherit a portion of the land of Israel. In this week's parsha Yaakov gave Yosef an extra part of the land of Israel for keeping his promise that he would bring Yaakov to Israel. We learned that when we say we are going to do something, we should try really hard to keep our word, just like Yosef kept his word and brought Yaakov to Israel.  Next week we will jump into learning all about Shabbat, be ready to take home some amazing crafts and celebrate together at our Shabbat Dinner.

My most favorite thing this week was each child standing up during Group time to share something with their friends about their life, break, or what they had for dinner. This was a great way to get them in the motion for Show and Tell. It was so much fun. We will start Show and Tell next week. Thursday and Friday will be the only day your child can bring something small and unbreakable to school to share. Please bring the item in a brown paper bag and place it inside their cubby with their name clearly written. I will send out a schedule of what day your child should bring in their item. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! We will take many pictures don’t worry.

Have a restful and wonderful Shabbat!

Warmly,

Morah Brook and Morah Sara
