February 27- March 3, 2017
The children in Room 12 had a great week beginning our discussions on Purim. We started the week by telling the story of Purim and singing the Purim songs. We invited Room 11 to join us for the Purim story. The children enjoyed learning about the characters associated with the Purim story and where they live. Next week, we will even draw our own characters. We are also excited to see the children act out the story. We also worked on our gross motor skills in the class using walking cups. Each morning the children took pleasure in walking around the carpet on the cups and strengthening their core skills. We have seen such great improvement and are so proud of the balance skills the children have developed. In addition, the children are becoming proficient in their puzzling skills! This week they focused on putting together 15 piece table-top puzzles. They learned to identify the colors in each piece and match them to the colors on the puzzle board. In the area of colors, we discussed details and descriptive words during circle time. One child stood up at the front of the class and the other child went around and described one detail about the child. For instance, Carter stood up at the front of the class and Kayden told us that he has two eyes, Elliot said he has spikey hair, and Mason said he has black sleeves on his shirt. Each child got a turn to describe other children and also stand up in front of the class and be described. We will continue to emerge this topic of details throughout various topics in our class. We are excited to talk more about Purim next week and participate in art and cooking projects associated with Purim! We also want to thank Michael’s family for joining us for Shabbat this Friday. We loved singing sons, prayers and eating challah with you all! Please check out our Room 12’s Google Drive for weekly pictures of all of our activities and fun!!
