What an incredibly busy month with the high holidays we have had in room 3. The children have been making connections by using specific examples of evidence that verifies or proves that certain objects connect one thing to another. For example, the kids learned that the shofar is composed of a protein called “keratin.” Since the ram’s horns grow back once they are cut off, the children confirmed that finger/toe nails grow back once they are cut as well. Therefore, the shofar and nails are both composed of keratin. The class has completed their journal entry for Rosh Hashanah, which highlights the concept of relationships within the holiday. Some of these relationships include: the round challah representing the circle of life, and the apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year. Our students amaze us with their letter and number recognition, along with their understanding behind the concept of “reading.” The children demonstrate their ability to read lines and patterns by using their fine motor skills to snip with scissors on the lines, and build patterns with colored materials. The kids went to the music lab for the first time this week! They were able to experiment with different sounds using technology and had the opportunity to follow the instructor’s rhythm with their own drum. We have displayed the children’s projects and progress in the classroom and welcome you all to come and take a look at what a wonderful job everyone has done thus far. Wishing you all peaceful Yom Kippur, an easy fast, and a blessed Shabbat Shalom.
