Continue learning about days of creation

Dear parents,
 
This week in the Blue Room we continued learning and exploring the days of creation. On day five, Hashem created sea creatures and birds. 

This week we had clay, birds, butterflies and feathers on the table. Our friends used their imagination to explore different ways of playing with the tools. 

On the sixth day, Hashem created animals and people. Our friends played with farm and zoo animals as we made the sounds they make, moooo! Rawr! Hashem created such an amazing world! Blue skies, the sun and the moon, millions of twinkling stars, flowers and trees, oceans, sea animals, and of course people. 

People can do so many amazing things! We can think, we can build, we can drive cars and fly airplanes. How could it be that people can do all these things? Because Hashem gives us so much strength to do so!

Inspired by the book, "My Many Colored Days," by Dr. Seuss, our friends created themselves with color based on how they were feeling. We talked about how we can feel many different feelings at many different times and they are all okay to have because they are a part of us. 

On the seventh day, Hashem decided that Shabbat is going to be a day of rest. When Shabbat came everything stopped, and this completes the seven days of creation. With Shabbat the world was now complete. 

Every Friday in CJP we get in the Shabbat spirit and we bake challah and sing Shabbat songs. We make special brochos and we have a Shabbat party! We will continue learning about Shabbat in depth in January. Next week we are going to learn about the Parsha of Noah and the animals. 

Shabbat Shalom, 

Morah Ora and Morah Chaya
