We continue to explore the holiday of Passover. We have had a few opportunities to enjoy eating matzah for snack. We even enjoyed making matzah pizza this week and we are looking forward to cooking with matzah in the coming week.
The children continued to work on recreating the Egyptian desert for display in our classroom. They also made individual pyramids that are now on display along with other symbols of the Passover holiday. We continue to visit with the friends in room 23, reviewing the story of Passover. We are also practicing singing songs for our Seder next week, Wednesday, March 21st. We would like to thank all of you for taking the time to meet with us for Parent Teacher Conferences Tuesday and Wednesday. We truly enjoyed our time together, and we appreciated getting to share with you all of the wonderful qualities we see in each of your children! The children began to work on a special Passover project that they will bring home after our classroom Seder next Wednesday. We collected food for our Passover SOVA drive, and we enjoyed visiting our SOVA market. Thank you for sending your child to school with an item to donate to the SOVA bin for Passover. We felt a sense of great joy and pride that we were able to help others. We returned to class and read the book, Joey and the Giant Box by Deborah Lakritz and illustrated by Mike Byme. It was a wonderful way to reinforce the concept of mitzvot. All of the children loved their matzah pizza this week, especially because they worked so hard to prepare it all by themselves. While preparing it, the children had an opportunity to learn about various food groups and nutrition. The children also gained an understanding of how putting the prepared pizza into the oven allowed the heat to transform the cheese on the pizza. Some of the children even noticed that our matzah pizza was not in the shape of a triangle the way pizza usually is. Talk about triangles reminded the children of the triangular shape of the pyramids and further discussion of what other foods they eat that are shaped like a triangle as well as ways to create more pyramids. We enjoyed a lovely special Shabbat with Jordan and his family. The chocolate chip hallah and grape juice he brought were delicious. Ditza was not in Temple today. Instead Rabbi Brian was there to play the guitar and help Rabbi Josh. During Temple we listened to Rabbi Josh and Rabbi Brian tell the story of Passover. Shabbat Shalom T & T Reminders
