Dear Parents, With such warm weather outside, we enjoyed a lot of time playing outside with water, washing the babies, filling up various containers and spilling it onto ourselves and into the sandbox, and also playing with shaving cream on the glass doors, and covering our bodies with it. It was such a fun experience, putting cool shaving cream on the children's arms, and seeing it foaming off. We painted Fall picture frames using different fall colors to paint the frame with a brush and then the children got to collage various colored paper on top of the paint to give it a little 3D feel. The children used their hands to dip the paper into the glue. Many of them were curious what the glue felt like, and they were surprised it was so gooey. The children challenged their gross motor skills while out on the yard, working their large muscles as they painted or used crayons on the easels. We enjoyed Music with Andrew, marching around the room with our egg shakers and rainbow streamers, singing our cuckoo clock song and peekaboo with the scarves. We went to the Music room on our own and had our own drum circle, where the children each got the opportunity to have a drum “solo.” We also played freeze dance and created our own choo choo train out of chairs and sang “All Aboard” by the Beat Buds. We went to our first Shabbat service, walking up using the rope, and looking and listening to the construction as we went to the Temple. We loved singing Shabbat songs with Ditza and listening to Rabbi Josh tell us a story about a swan and a penguin.
