Our friends in Nursery have been having a blast and very busy too. Sukkot came and went but we did so much to prepare for it. The children learned a few songs to sing (I hope you heard some of them), learned about the customs we have as well as the different things we do on this Yom Tov. We spoke about the colors that the lulav and etrog are, how they are different, what they represent, and also what we do with them. On Sukkot we eat in the sukkah- which we all had the chance to do and they all had so much fun doing it! The childrend all helped to make our salt dough etrogs and our mini lulav. We hope you like their sukkah decorations too.
Learning all about Simchat Torah and how much we love the Torah was amazing. The children all got to hug/ kiss the torah and take a picture with it that we used for our flag project that they got to take home. Painting our Torh that we hope to dance with on Simchat Torah! Our class spoke about the many mitzvot that Hashem gives us to do all the time and that they are all inside the Torah.
We have been busy working on our letters by having the children use some fine motor skills to do so. The have been using two types of play dough to 'shape' the letter to help them recognize and become more familair with them. They all love working with this and sometimes its even hard to pull them away from it :) Morah sings a song during circl time to help familairze us with our letters and the letters of our frinds and we dance to our own letter- this is so much fun!
Nursery friends noticed a big change in the weather and we have been speaking about this and how the seasons are changing. We know that there are four in all and we know their names. It is now the fall season and we know that we wear different things in the fall than we do in the summer time. We made a chart displaying the different things we do and wear in these seasons and compared them. The children came up with so much! They did great! Our class has also spoken about the different changes taking place with the trees and how the leaves change color and they begin to fall to the ground.
We are hoping to go for a nature walk to collect fall items such as leaves, pine cones, acorns and sticks. If you happen to find any while walking with your own children, please feel free to collect them and send them in as well. We would greatly appreciate it!
