The children decided that “When you don’t keep your promises, it will be hard to trust you again.”Ī majority of Parashat Noah was told in Hebrew! The children followed along and identified many words such as arie (lion), kof (monkey), keshet (rainbow), yam (sea) and many more! When we were talking about Parashat Noah, we talked about the importance of keeping a promise. We wrote the letter gimmel with gezer (a carrot) on the g’veena (cheese). We read about Eliezer and the Gezer (carrot) and spread g’veena (cheese) on crackers. The children also made a degel (flag) from the shape of the letter dalet.įor the letter gimmel, we discovered that when you put two gimmels together, you can make a gamal (camal). Each child created their own delet and illustrated the location behind it, including a bedroom, toy room, ark, etc. We read Hadag Kaspion, and learned that the word delet (door) begins with a dalet. In Hebrew, we learned about the letters dalet and gimmel.

Afterwards, they measured the animals and determined that the bear was the tallest animal (16 cubes) and the mouse was the shortest (2 cubes). The children also created animal characters from Bear Snores On, including the bear, hare, raven, mole, and mouse. Using towers of ten Unifix cubes, we found various objects in our classroom and categorized the items into two groups: those items that were taller than a tower of ten cubes and the items that were shorter than a tower of ten cubes. We’ve been learning about measurement in math. These are the sight words in our word walk: Our word walk is getting longer, and the children have been enthusiastically utilizing it! We’ve jumped from word to word to create sentences, practiced long jumps to see which words we land on, and even used it to refer to the spelling of some words for our journal writing. You’ll always have your mama’s hand to hold. You’d sleep through the winter if you could. We practiced identifying our new amazing words in songs and stories, and frequently incorporated these words into our daily conversations! The children created their own bear caves out of paper bags.

This past week, we read Bear Snores On, which is a book about animals throwing a party in a bear’s cave while he is attempting to hibernate.
