We continue to explore the holiday of Passover. We have even begun to taste matzah. We enjoyed making matzah pizza this week and we are looking forward to cooking with matzah in the coming week.
On Monday, the children worked so hard to create our large pyramid for our board. They also made individual pyramids that are now on display along with other symbols of the Passover holiday. We collected food for our Passover SOVA drive, and we enjoyed visiting our first ever 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. The children began to work on a special Passover project that they will bring home after our classroom Seder next Wednesday. 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. Thursday we continued to work on our special Passover project. We also had the most fun playing with all the new dolls and doll accessories Ella A. and her mommy brought in for our class. We would like to thank Ella and her mom Sandra. We enjoyed a lovely special Shabbat with Brayden and his family. IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES TO REMEMBER
