Even though it was a short week, we have been very busy continuing to talk about and sing songs for the holiday of Purim. The children enjoyed playing with castles, knights and horses on the rug this past week. With these toys, they imagined and expressed their ideas of how the story of Purim looked. It also gave the children another venue in which to recall the information they have been learning about over the past couple of weeks.
The children were so engaged as they watched the castle of Shushan go up on the wall with Vashti, Esther, Haman, Mordechai, and Achashverosh and then loved adding decorations to it. They have also enjoyed making groggers and decorating their own individual crowns. During circle time we talked about ways to celebrate Purim and that we were going to be baking special cookies shaped like a triangle,just like Haman’s hat that are called Hamantashen. The children are excited to taste and bake Hamantashen next week. Friday we had a fantastic time going to Farmer’s Market. The children picked out their favorite fruits and vegetables to snack on. We celebrated Shabbat with Bianca and her family. During Temple we enjoyed singing songs with Rabbi Josh and Ditza Shabbat Shalom T & T Reminders
