This week in the classroom we explored animals through our centers and Morah Kayla also explained the Parsha Noach in our morning Daven circle. With props and puppets she created an interactive experience that made the story come alive to our friends. We learned long ago when Hashem created the world he wanted everyone to make good choices and do the right thing. Not long after Hashem created the world, most people were making bad choices. There was one man that wasn't like everyone else. He chose to the right thing and he taught his family to make good choices too. This made Hashem happy he wanted all the people to be like Noach. Hashem told Noach to build a teiva, a big boat, to hold 7 mommy and 7 daddy kosher animals, a pair of mommy and daddy non kosher animals, and Noach's family because Hashem was going to bring a mabul, a flood to wash away all the bad. Noach tried warning all the people of the flood that if anyone wanted to stay safe from the flood there was room. No one listened to Noach. The day came when rain started fall and didn't stop for 40 days! What a long time. After the rain a rainbow appeared. Hashem promised Noach that he would never bring a flood again and the rainbow was a symbol of that promise and how important it is to always try your best to make good choices.
Our friends each took a turn making it rain on Noach's teiva.

Let's make a home for our animals was our provocation. We first had to decide would our animals live out in the wild or captivity in a zoo? Mina suggested, "Zoo" and we agreed on a zoo home for our animals. What does a zoo have? "A building and Crocodile lake." After some time of constructing they built their zoo structure with natural wood blocks and used net fabric pieces to make spider webs. They caught their animals and then rescued them from any danger.
More coming soon! Stay tuned!
