We are currently focusing on Mitzvos in our classroom. This started while learning about Tisha B'Av the children created a Mitzvah wall. We are continuing this topic of Mitzvos in honour of Elul and Rosh Hashonah. Together with the rest of the Pre- school we are making a Mitzvah train. The Mitzvos our class is focusing on is Mezuzah and Torah learning.

Happy Birthday to Yoni, Akiva, Talya and Yosef Yitzchak.

Aleph Beis treasure hunt

On tuesday the children went on a treasure hunt.

Morah: What is a treasure hunt?

Eliezer: It's when you look for a treasure.

Akiva: I think I am gonna find a key inside.


The children search for the hidden treasure!



Yoni found the treasure!

We went back into the classroom and the children each got a chance to hold the treasure and guess what's inside. Chocolate, barbie, monsters, a monkey were just some of the guesses.

Moshe opened the treasure box!
"ALEPH BEIS!!!!!!!!"
The children were soo excited! Each child took a letter andwent to their seat. We discussed that this treasure is extra special as it is a treasure from Hashem. We discussed that learning Aleph Beis is our tool to learning Torah and reading a chumash and siddur.
We learned that this learning should be sweet like honey. The children each got to lick honey off the aleph beis chart.
We then got to learn the letter Aleph. Morah Dini came in and sang Aleph Beis songs with us and we mentioned the children's names who start with Aleph. The children were extremely excited through out and will continue to be learning the letters of the Aleph Beis.

Now that Shavuos is over, I have started assessing each child more intensly. Observing and testing all areas to ensure proper development! Please know that if there are any cares and concerns, I am here for you, and your child's needs is of utmost importance to me!

shavuos is coming




Here we are enjoying our sandwiches!



We've been counting the days until we get the Torah!




On our wall is a biiiig Har Sinai! We all painted big pieces of paper brown and then our Morah stuck them together to make our Har Sinai.




The we painted flowers in red orange and pink. Morah stuck them onto our Har Sinai with number 1-49 for every day we count in sefira.


We learned a lot about Har Siani- we sang the mountain song- which helped us to learn about the mountains fighting for Hashem to give the Torah on them. But Hashem chose Har Sinai because he was humble. we also learned about how special our Torah is. We sang "Little Torah" and we sang "Hashem gave us a present" which taught us that all the other nations didn't have time for torah but we, the yidden, said "na'aseh ve'nishmah"




We've learned about the Luchos and we coloured our own luchos, next we stuck them onto cardboard covered in tinfoil, and put cottonwool around them as the beautiul clouds that were covering Har Sinai. The Luchos was our introduction to Aleph Beis!









On another wall in our classroom is milk - all yummy foods that we eat on the first day of Shavuos.

Interactive Pesach experience...

In order to bring Pesach to life, before going on to the playground yesterday, the Morahs explained that there would be a sensory table out with sand and water for the children to build bricks, just like the Yidden had to in Mitzrayim! The children were initially scared to touch but most very quickly got over their fears and thoroughly enjoyed the messy play.


Shaina: I'm making a big brick!
It all began with building bricks for the Beis Hamikdash. Of course, age appropriately, the children very quickly switched to building tents and making cakes with sprinkles etc...


Bryna: I don't like this sand! It's so messy!

At the same time there was another of the same table set up where the older children were playing. Some children from our class joined in the conversation...

Berel: That's the watery sandpit.
Zahara: When I grow up I'm going to be a queen.
Aaron: When I grow up I'm gonna be a policeman with a gun! A real gun.
Zahara: But only shoot not real families just bad people.
Aaron: I'm gonna shoot Pharaoh.
Zahara: And Haman and all the Mitzrim.
Elisheva: Not Haman!
Zahara: Yes because he wants to kill all the Jews.
Yaakov Akiva: And he wants the Jews to bow down to him.
Aaron: Hashem doesn't want anyone to die!
Zahara: Only the Mitzrim!
