We started this short week off by officially welcoming Morah Kayla to our class. She will be joining us for the rest of the year enriching our curriculum with more Judaism. With Rosh Hashana around the corner, this week we introduced some concepts about the Holiday through our centers and morning circle times. In morning circles we discussed how Rosh Hashana is the new year, a new beginning. Just like we had a first day of school we have a first day of a new year. We ask Hashem for help to become our best self and for a sweet new year. We do this by blowing the shofar, eating sweet foods like apples dipped in honey, or sending cards to our family and friends, saying Shana Tova wishing them a sweet a new year too. Morah Kayla explained the shofar comes from a Ram and when we blow the shofar we can think of a mitzvah that we can do to be a better friend and more helpful. Rabbi T. has made visits to our classroom to blow the shofar. All of our friends giggled at the sound it makes. They all agreed it sounds funny. Our friends investigated the shofar in our classroom. Some friends take turns trying so hard to blow and others feel the rough bumpy texture.

We started making Shana Tova cards for our family and friends. Saying Shana Tova means we're wishing them a sweet new year. Jemma is coloring a card for her grandma.

Hammond is ready to work everyday when he comes into class. On Wednesday he found an Alef Beis provocation. He selected different magnetic letters from the basket and they stuck to his work tray! It wasn't long after he started that he found a match! Lammed!
Thanks for another great week. Shabbat Shalom
