Mazel Tov to Rebecca and Joshua parents! We wish you to have only simcha from your kiddos! Thank you so much for class presents! Puzzles and math games will be used in our classroom for learning with fun! THANK YOU!

This week we learned

The letter of the week was letter P. To make the letter you need one big line and one little curve.
The letter P says /p/ like in words Perel, pitta, pizza, peanut and puppy.

In order to celebrate letter P and its sound, friends made Pumpkin Pie from Perfect Pumpkin.

We shared Pumpkind Pies with other friends in the school. 

This rhyme we learned for letter P.

Our Community- Hardware Store

It's snowing. All side walks, our playground and roads are covered with snow. It is hard for people to walk on snow because it is slippery. How can we help?  We can shovel snow from our playground. Where can we get shovels? In a Hardware store. What kind store is it? Store that sells tools and things that are necessary for reparing household things and take things around a house too.  We found a Hardware store right accross the street from our school.

 When we came into the store, we saw screwdrivers, hammers, saws, nails and bolts,

gloves and hoses. There were a lot of things that we would like to explore and play with but they are not toys. They are tools.

 We shovels in the store! We paid money for them and left the store.  

 We took shovels straight to our playground and had fun shoveling snow.

It was not easy. Snow is not so light as we thought. It is heavy. After all it is made of water.

 What is the best thing to do in such wintery and snowy day?

We invited Pre-K1 friends for a movie party and treated them with popcorn.

We had a great time together. We love winter!

Winter Time

 On Monday, nature gave us a greatest winter day.

It was not too cold, not too windy, and it was snowing!

In  few hours, ground was all white.

It was a perfect opportunity to go outside and build a snowman.  

Thanks to our dearest parents, with a lot of warm winter clothes on we won't be cold

even if you would go to the North Pole.

We wore gloves and mittens because snow was very, very cold.

 

'

Ta-da! Team work pays off.

A snowman is built with cookies for eyes, a carrot for a nose and a sweet peas for a smile. 

 

Winter is hard not only for people but for some animals as well.

Cold weather and lack of food are making animals' living very hard. That is why some animals like bears, mice, frogs, bats spend all winter " sleeping"  in their homes.  This is called HIBERNATION.

 

But some animals do not hibernate but it still hard for them to find food under the cover of snow.

That is why friends left on the playground some peanuts for squirrels and birds to nibble at.

 

Back in school, friends were treated with warm tea.

We love winter fun!

Rosh Chodesh Adar Rally

On Friday, we had a Rosh Chodesh Rally with Morah Chani and all the Preschool Friends. We sang songs and spoke about the new month Adar which we were about to enter.

Adar is a really exciting month in which we have the holiday of Purim. Adar is a happy month. Guess what?

This year we will have two months of Adar being that this year is a leap year where we have a full extra month in our calendar so now we have a full extra month to be happy. Yay! :)

Letter Mem Sofis

Our Mail Carrier Rebecca brought us the Letter Mem Sofis. Mem Sofis is used at the end of a word and has one big line on top, one big line coming down, one big line on the bottom, one big line coming up, and a little line on top, like a square with a roof, like a nice square swimming pool with a little line/ roof to cool off in the shade.

Reuven forming Mem Sofis out of blocks.

He is making sure all its lines will be closed as opposed to the Letter Mem which has one open space on the bottom.

David did a super job writing letters.

Here he is posing with his great achievement!! :) 

We are so proud of David and all the friends for writing beautiful and neat letters.
