Dear Room 13 Parents,
This week was filled with fun, learning, exploration, time to continue get to know each other and practice our routine We began the week practicing our yoga skills on our personalized mats. We learned how to be caterpillars, butterflies and practiced relaxing ourselves by taking deep breathes. How do you take a deep breathe? We inhaled feeling our body fill up with air and exhaled feeling the air leave the body as we blew it out through our mouth. In order to solidify our understanding of each component and also to practice differentiating between the two, we placed a cotton ball on each child's mat. While lying on his/her belly, the child inhaled and exhaled watching the cotton ball move across their mat with only the air from their exhale. A friend noticed the cotton ball doesn't move when we breath in, only when we breathe out. We will continue to practice. In an effort to practice our fine-motor skills and continue to create a visible sense of community, we made a class mobile by stringing small beads onto a thin string. Next, we attached each child's bead to their painted plate. Every friend picked the location of their part of the mobile. Room 13 notice numbers all around them! We identified each digit and are associating a fxdx d fcg dfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfd f nHebrew and in English. We also learned some new songs. We started to talk about Thanksgiving and made our own turkeys out of pine cones. We wrote thank you notes that we put inside little key rings that we hung up on our display. We are going to make yarmulkes for the boys and doilies for the girls for Shabbat. Thank you for helping expand our library by purchasing books off our Wish List from the Book Fair. We wanted to thank you all for supporting us. This is a great class and you all helped us make the transition seamlessly. It will be a great year! Please feel free to contact us if you need anything. Parent Reminders: This upcoming Monday, November 9 we will be starting our Tricycle Express at 9:30 am. Thank you for bringing your child's helmets so they can participate!
