This week we introduced the holiday of Purim. The kids have noticed all the Purim paraphernalia, and have enjoyed dressing up using the necklaces and crowns. They loved shaking the grogger. We cannot wait to make our own in the coming weeks in class. If you have any books on Purim, please bring them in!
We also went to the Library and the Music Lab this week. We are so lucky to be able to visit the Music Lab once a week. We learned about the woodwind and string instruments. Ask your children all about it. The Library is always a treat for us. We get so excited to share it with a parent who comes to read with us. Thank you again Kathy! We really enjoyed it! We found a book at the library that the kids have really been interested in. The book is called, Measuring Penny. This book talks about all the different types of measuring using inches, centimeters, quarts, pints, volume and many more. They sat so nicely and were extremely involved in measuring. They were able to use measuring tapes and walk around the classroom to see how many things they could measure. This looked like a lot of fun! This week we also talked more about President's Day! We have discovered that the face of a few presidents are on some of our dollar bills and coins. We looked at a poster and had a great conversation about all the presidents. As a class, we wrote a letter to President Obama. We will be awaiting his reply in the next couple of months. This was very exciting for all the the children. They were able to ask him questions and tell him a few things as well. Reminders: We do not have a Shabbat helper for February 20. If you would like to be the Shabbat helper, please let us know!
