March 2011
Shalom MWF friends! We had a fantastic February by celebrating the Lunar New Year with some yummy desserts from Korea and some of us even tried out chopsticks for the first time. The children really enjoyed talking about healthy foods and how to keep their hearts (Lev in Hebrew) healthy. The Jog-a-thon even though it rained went on as planned and the children had a wonderful time! These experiences hopefully spark ideas for more activities at home.
During our circle time, I have introduced the students to a new program to our school; Handwriting without Tears. This program introduces the students in how the letters look and feel. The writing will begin soon after. We are building confidence, then strategy. Our pre-K’s are picking it up fast and it has been a nice introduction for the 3’s who have one more year with it.
This month we will be discussing Purim. We will start with who the characters are and what role they had in the Magillah story of Queen Esther. We will be making groggers, crowns and masks for our Purim stories read in class and Temple. Friday March 18th we will be having Purim-themed centers. This is a great event for the children. Have all of your children dress-up in their favorite characters. Please remember no weapons or scary masks. March 29th has been scheduled for us to have our Passover Seder. Please check the door to sign up to bring something for the Seder. Rabbi Lisa and Mrs. Janis will be running the Seder service for us, so don’t miss out it will be a lot of fun. All family members are invited.
