Since Passover we have begun to learn about our next theme- Our World. We began by learning about how Hashem created the world in 7 days. We began with the first day and know that he created light and dark (day and night). Our friends were taught that there are three different types of light-sun, fire, and light bulbs. We spoke about how each is used and we even went on a hunt for different types of light and we found so many.
Our class learned all about the letter S. We spoke about many different words that begin with the letter. We know that shadow begins with S. We went outsid to explore our shadows and discovered that they are not all the same. Morha even brought in flashlights for us to play with and discover with to make shapes and shadows with inside too.
As a treat we baked light and dark cupcakes- they were yummy!






 On the second day we learned that Hashem created heavens and the earth. We spoke about what we find in the sky and on the ground. We went on a mission to find some clouds. We took out our spy goggles to help us see them better. The children realized that not all the clouds look the same and there arent always clouds in the sky. We spoke about the different kinds of clds and that really dark clouds bring rain and thats how we get rain. The children worked hard on the class bulletin board in the room making the sun, clds, and even rain drop all out of different art teaxtures. We spoke about water and that its very important. Sometimes it freezes and melts too. Our class made ice cubes and saw how they freeze. Morah even froze paint and we used it to make a masterpiece in the classrrom as we painted the frozen paint melted and went onto the paper. The children found this to be amazing!










Our class spoke about the third day of creation. We learned that Hashem created the plants and trees. Morah made a chart for us to see the process of how a seed is planted and then grow by being watered and given a lot of sun light. The children each got a cup of water with a straw in it to act as if they were the plant rowing bigger and bigger as they drnak their water just like a plant does too. They really enjoyed this and it helped them to understand it more. Our class even got the plant seends and we will be watering theses plants and put them into sunlight and watch them grow.
