Dear Ulpanon Aleph Parents,
This week began with an EC wide Havalah service led by Jen Shankman. It is such a beautiful way to say shalom to Shabbat and start the new week. All the Explorer and the Investigator classes gathered in room 13 for a special rendition of the Purim megillah as told by Teacher Hannah with a puppet show. The children have enjoyed dressing up as the various characters from the Purim story and acting out the parts. The children have been looking at the mirror we have up on our wall, modeling their costumes and crowns in the mirror, looking at their reflections and smiling at themselves. We’ve been singing Purim songs, “Esther titchatni iti” (Esther won’t you marry me), “Chag Purim” (Purim holiday), and “H’Covah Sheli” (My Hat) to name a few songs. We have caught the children marching around the room using the tree branches as walking sticks singing “oy oy dod Mordechai” (Oy Oy Uncle Mordechai) The children made their own raashanim (groggers/noise makers) using plastic water bottles which they filled with either beads or beans. They then cut little pieces of colored tape to decorate the outside of their bottle. Thank you to Hagit, who brought us the dough we used to make oznei haman (hamantashen. The children picked their filling (apricot or strawberry jelly and Hershey kisses) and pinched three corners of their circle of dough to make a triangle. We fitted the children’s crowns that they painted to their head and it is hanging up in our classroom until next week where they can wear them for our Purim parade. We rounded out our week with our series of specialists, Music with Marcos, Yoga with Cheryl and Storah with Rabbi Sari. Thank you to Eli who was our Shabbat Aba and his family. Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom, Gali, Mira and Miri Reminders: Please make sure your child has weather appropriate clothing in their boxes.
