The Purim holiday has brought so much fun into room 3! The children created their own baskets for their “mishloach manot” (sending of portions) that they will eventually give to others. Each child chose three long strips of colored paper to create a pattern. They used their fine motor skills to weave the strips of paper into the squares of the baskets and combined two pipe cleaners to create the handles for their baskets. The children understand the '"mitzvah" behind making these baskets, and they are excited to fill them up with goodies for their families and friends.
Our students continue to amaze us with their creativity. Using markers, colored tape, and colored pencils, the children decorated small plates with different designs and shapes to make their own Purim groggers. Each child filled the plates with beans and taped them shut. The children will bring their groggers to Synagogue next week for our Purim story. They are aware that the groggers are used make noise every time they hear the name “Haman” during the story in order to drown out his name. A huge thank you to Olivia Gordon for reading a Purim story and a “Curious George” book to the children at the library this week! The children are motivated to learn and enjoy participating in classroom activities. They are able to recognize upper and lowercase letters and they understand the relationships between the different letters and sounds. We are so proud of all of your wonderful children and of the tremendous progress they have made thus far. We hope you all enjoy celebrating at the Purim carnival! Shabbat Shalom and have a great weekend. With Love, Vera and Karen Reminders: Purim Carnival: March 1st Snack Mom for March 2: Sharzad Shabbat boy for March 6: Gunner
