Wow!
What an amazing beginning of the year! We have been very busy getting to know one another. We are making new friends and learning all about pre-k. Our discussions have been mostly about the beginning of the year and what it might mean. We also talked a lot about Rosh Hashanah and Yom kippur as the beginning of the year. We learned about these holidays and what they mean to us and our family. We also made Rosh Hashana cards. We learned about the special foods we eat on Rosh Hashana (pomegranate, apples and honey, round challa). We had a bee keeper come to school and teach us all about bees and honey. We learned about the shofar; it is made from a ram's horn and we blow it on Rosh Hahsana and Yom Kippur. We learned that there are four different blows that make different sounds. We had someone come to our class and blow the shofar for us. We observed the details of the shofarot in our class.Some were long and some were short, some were dark and others were light. The children are really interested in patterns and they noticed that the shofarot had different patterns. We will continue learning about the details of the shofar next week as we get ready for Yom Kippur.
