Dear Parents, 

 Here are some highlights of our week:

We celebrated Luka's Birthday this week!  First we made the cake together.  We gathered all of the ingredients and then followed the recipe.   Ethan and Mika took turns adding in cake mix.  Then Morah Shayna checked the eggs before we added them, and finally Yosef helped stir and mix everything together.  We watched how all of the ingredients came together to create a tasty treat. 

 

 

After the cake was made, it was time to celebrate. Luka turned 3 and got his very first haircut. 

 

Morah asked Luca how he felt about his haircut. He said, "It will grow back. It's short like Ethan's." 

 

We added water beads to our sensory table this week. Our friends had fun exploring as they scooped, poured, practiced taking turns and sharing their work with each other. 

 

Daria-"It looks like popcorn." 

Abigail-   "Do you want some coffee?  They feel yummy."

 Ariel discovered water beads are so bouncy! She grabbed a handful, dropped them above her head, and watched them bounce out of the table. 

During free exploration Bella laced beads.  She said, "Look Teacher, I made a Yo-yo."

 

 

Our friends explored glue and made collages in the art center. They also made sticker collages with a variety of stickers that were available this week.  

 

First Avi, Beatrice, and Esther put glue on their papers and then chose different materials to stick down and create their own collages.  

 

 

Marlowe creates an ABC sticker collage.  As he worked his fine motor skills, we went over letter recognition. 

 

Thanks for a great week!  Wishing you a great Shabbos. 

Morah Felicia and Morah Shayna.
