Dear Families,

 

This week we started focusing on Shabbos concepts.  What does Shabbos mean to you? What are some things we do on Shabbos? We kept these questions in mind as we set up our play invitations.  At the end of our Shabbat Unit our friends will take home their very own "Shabbat Box"  with some essential pieces they can use each Shabbat, hopefully for years to come.  

 Dramatic Play

This week in the Dramatic Play area, our friends were invited to set the table for Shabbat.  What goes on a Shabbat table, is it different than any other night?  Yes, we see candles, a Kiddush cup, nice tablecloths and dishes because Shabbos is special and we celebrate.  As friends set the table we played a game. The Morahs asked who lights the candles on Shabbos?  Morah asked who says Kiddush, and our friends placed plates and silverware on the table along with bread and they got ready to take turns serving each other pretend food. Our friends also enjoyed dressing up and putting fancy ties and shoes on to go to shul.

Literacy Exploration

Shin starts the word, Shabbos. What else starts with shin? On Friday our friends used gems to trace the letter shin.  All of our friends really enjoyed this activity.

Next week we will continue to explore more concepts of Shabbat. Thanks for a great week. 

We are wishing you all a peaceful and restful Shabbos.
