Passover has Arrived

  This week is our last week of exploring all the components of Passover.  Our friends were able to play a fun game they will play during Passover.  We hid a bag with matzah inside, called the afikoman, and our friends had to find it!  Our friends used team work and communication to narrow the search down.  Once they found it, our friends cheered with excitement.

  Our class had fun feeling and learning about different textures this week.  Our friends were able to touch and feel matzah.  There are many differences we found between matzah and regular bread.  Some children noticed it was "bumpy" and "hard" and regular bread is soft and smooth.  Our friends are so excited to see matzah on their Passover tables.

 Lastly, our friends had a blast exploring with our moon sand!  It is very soft and was a great sensory activity for the week.  We were able to mold it into all sorts of things.  For example, we made cookies, cakes, hand prints and more.  Our friends used their motor skills to scoop and pour into different shaped containers with spoons and ladles.

  We hope you all have a fun and safe Passover break!  We will miss you all dearly and can't wait to see all our smiling friends faces when we return from break on Thursday April 20th!

Thanks,
