Enjoying the Beautiful Weather

Today, the weather was so delightful that we extended our playground time. We raced on the field and shot hoops on the basketball court! 

How big was the tevah that Noach built?

Pre-k went outside and measured the length and width of the tevah using the measurements from the Torah ! The length was approximately 150 ft ( from the beginning of the carpool line until the basketball court) and the width was about 75 ft (from the first row of the parking lot until the doors of the main office).

Fall in Pre-k'

Thanks to Ayla, the Pre-K class had the opportunity to experience a little bit of a fall feeling. On a recent trip to Montreal, Ayla was thinking of her friends in Florida and came back with a bag full of autumn leaves! Thanks Ayla!

On Day 6, Hashem created animals and people!

Using a Venn Diagram to classify land and water animals. 

On Day 5, Hashem created the birds and fish!

Using footprints and handprints, Pre-K created birds of their choice.

Playing with the water tables were a huge success, while exploring the creation of fish.

On Day 4 Hashem created the sun, moon and stars

Collaging stars using Eric Carle's book Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me, as inspiration.

Making our own moons with clay.

While learning about the creation of the sun, we went outside to investigste our shadows.

On Day 3, Hashem created the flowers and trees

During our nature walk we were able to really appreciate the beauty of Hashem's creations, specifically the flowers, plants and trees that were created on day 3.

Investigating seeds,leaves and branches.

Artwork with spices!

On Day 2 Hashem created water and sky

Using the art technique of pointillism, the children created artwork representing the bodies of water and their many shades of blue.

Easel painting with shades of blue.

Sensory fun using Shaving cream and cotton to represent the clouds .

Learning about clouds and the rain cycle.

Testing out evaporation and condensation .

Building, counting, patterning and sorting using a variety of blue and white manipulatives.

Observing and sketching the clouds.

Students photograph the cloud of their choice and describe what it resembles.

Investigating the First Day of Creation

        

Using the concept of darkness and light, we created self portraits using charcoal pencils and half of a black and white photo of each child. The child found the line of "symmetry"( a new mathematical concept that we learned) on their photograph and after cutting the photo in half they sketched in the other half.

                                                      

Using tweezers and spoons to sift and sort black beans and rice, the children were able to strengthen and build fine motor skills and mathematical skills.
