S is for Sukkot!

Our Sukkot Celebration Day was a blast!  Our first activity was an Art activity where we drew self portraits.

   

  

 

We also took turns observing the lulav and smelling the etrog as we carefully passed each around the room.

  Then, we made our own decorations to hang in the Sukkah.

 After we hung our decorations in the Sukkah, we practiced holding and shaking the lulav and the etrog.  Then, we relaxed in the Sukkah and read two stories.

 

 

 

 

H is for Honey Cake!

Thank you so much to our fantastic moms who were able to come and bake Honey Cakes with us!  

They were delicious!!

 

 

 

 

 

T is for Ten!

After our 10th day of school, we started playing a counting to 10 game.  Everyone in the class started by standing up, and we went around the circle while each person counted off (1, 2, 3, and so on).  If you were the 10th person, you sat down and the counting started over at 1 again.  We continued rounds of counting until only one person was left standing!  We can't wait until the 20th day of school to start counting to 20!

H is for Handwriting!

While some may think that practicing handwriting is not the most exciting part of kindergarten, our class loves writing on Ice Cream Paper--especially our Dry Erase Ice Cream Boards!

S is for Shabbat!

We were so excited to sit with our 5th Grade Buddies for the first time at this week's Kabbalat Shabbat!  here is a group picture of all the 5th graders with all of the kindergarteners!
 

After our school-wide Kabbalat Shabbat, we went back to the classroom, where our Abba, Max, and our Ima, Caleigh, led us in the blessings over the candles, the "wine", and the challah.

  

Before lunch, we went to the Chapel, where we sang Shabbat songs and danced with Mrs. Sacks.

Z is for Zero the Hero!

Today was our 10th day of school... which means we got a visit (in letter form) from Zero the Hero! We were so excited when we saw the number 10 all over the envelope....

 

When we opened the envelope, this is what we saw:

 

We celebrated Zero the Hero and our 10th day of school by cutting out the number 10, gluing onto a piece of construction paper, and adding 10 stickers of our choice!  We also sang a song about counting up from 1 to 10 and counting down from 10 to 1.
