Dear Parents, 

 The Blue Room friends stayed busy this week. Here are some highlights:

Science/Fine Motor

Our friends enjoyed making their own playdoh.  First we measured and poured all our ingredients in a tray and mixed them together.  They were fascinated as they watched the powder cornstarch turn into a solid ball of playdoh before their eyes. 

Literacy

 

Our friends were introduced to the first letter of their names.  They were invited to trace the letters with their fingers and then with loose parts. 

Social Emotional/Community 

At snack we noticed Shmuel had something interesting on his bagel. We discovered they were seeds. This sparked an interesting  and adorable conversation.  This was also so perfect as a start to our unit on Tu B'Shvat next week.

Shmuel- "Apples start out as seeds. Then they grow."

Lia- "Yeah like flowers"

Lia shows us half of a tomato and says, "Look inside. There are coconuts."

Morah- "Abigail, do you think your chips have seeds in them?"

Abigail- "Yeah, um flower seeds."

Luka- "Mmmm, pears, yes from seeds."

Then as  we were cleaning up, Luka observed Shmuel's lunchbox looked like a "Present." 

Next week we will be starting our Tu B'Shvat unit. Check out our Facebook group for more pictures. 

Wishing you a restful Shabbos,
