Dear Parents,
It's great to be back
in the Blue room! I would like to
personally thank you each and every one of you for your patience, support, and
cooperation during my maternity leave.
In an effort to ease the transitions of all our friends please remember that :
1. Arrival time should be between 9 and 915 any later makes it moe difficult for our children to trnsition
2. Remember to write mitzvah notes for your child at morning
drop off. We will potentially use them for an upcoming project of ours.
3. Remember to say your, “See you later,” at the door and let your child walk in
on his or her own.
A Morah will be at the door for any extra assistance needed
with belongings or extra hugs.This allows for a smoother transition. If your child is having a harder time with
drop off prepare them ahead of time by explain step by step to them what will
happen when they get to school so they know what to expect and the anxiety
isn't so high.
This week we had
our 4th annual petting zoo out in the playground. The children had a blast as
usual but there was an interesting impromptu twist this year, we had baby goats
that ran around freely throughout the entire playground. Our friends were impressively
gentle with all three kids and enjoyed frolicking around the grounds with them.
Inside the
classroom we incorporated farm animals into our clay provocations. Creating a
variety of hoof patterns in our clay as well sorting our animals by color. We
recognized the that ducks feet are webbed and horses have hooves. Also we
introduced still life portrait paintings with gourds being our subjects.
Children were encourage to excersise patience and be cognizant of the personal space of others. They are
expressing and exploring with seasonal
harvest self creativity within the boundaries of the subjects they paint and
colors being used.
Next week we like
to keep the exploration of animals and seasonal harvest open along with
introducing the concept gratitude.
Shabbat
Shalom!
