Torah Tots Preschool Blog: Pesach in Pre Nursery!

The past few weeks have been so action packed! Here is a look at some of the highlights of our Pesach Unit!

Math and numeracy time counting the numbered cups and building pyramids

Bingo dapper pyramid art

All ready to learn the story of Pesach with our puppet show!

Some of the songs we have been sining to learning the story of Pesach are:

Bang Bang (Work Song)

Bang, bang, bang, hold your hammer low.

Bang, bang, bang, give a heavy blow.

For it's work, work, work, every day and every night.

For it's work, work, work, when it's dark and when it's light.

Dig, dig, dig, dig your shovels deep.

Dig, dig, dig, there's no time for sleep.

For it's work, work, work, every day and every night.

For it's work, work, work, when it's dark and when it's light.

One Morning (The Frog Song)

One morning when Pharaoh woke in his bed,

There were frogs in his bed and frogs on his head,

Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toes,

Frogs here, frogs there,

Frogs were jumping everywhere.

Listen, King Pharaoh

Oh listen, oh listen, oh listen King Pharaoh.

Oh listen, oh listen, please let my people go.

The want to go away.

They work too hard all day.

King Pharaoh, King Pharaoh, What do you say?

No, no, no, I will not let them go. No, no, no, I will not let them go.

We love to explore different materials for deep sensory enrichment, we were "bang bang banging our hammers low!"

We loved learning about baby Moshe in his basket going down the river ! Dramatic play this unit really assists in the learning the story of Pesach

"One morning when pre nursery awoke for the day there were frogs in our....classroom!"

Making our frogs with different tools adds such interesting textures!

Light table pyramids, activities like this invite the children to work together, take turns and problem solve with one another.

What are frogs without their jumping feet! With this fine motor activity we folded are feet and glued them on, they are ready to jump around the classroom!

Science time inspecting lettuce for our seder table

Sports with coach Zev!

Making Maror for our placemats!

Stamping our Haggadah's

Seder Plate matching

children are typically capable of physically engaging with things on their own. By pre nursery age they have gained some language to begin describing and discussing their experiences. With our Pesach unit we made such interesting first memories of science investigating different tastes, what happens when we mix flour and water, what happens when we mix blue and red together and more!
