Pre-Nursery 2

Dear Parents,

It has been a very busy and very fun few weeks in Pre Nursery 2. We were very busy making beautiful 'Bruchim HaBaim' signs for our Sukkahs. The children were so excited to take their signs home and hang them in their Sukkahs.






We also painted and decorated our own Sukkah for our classroom. The children had so much fun taking turns sitting in the Sukkah.







We practiced shaking the lulav in our classroom and singing our favourite Sukkot and Simchat Torah songs.

1. Shake the lulav     
    Shake, shake, shake,
    Shake, shake, shake,
    Shake the lulav,
    Shake, shake, shake
    Shake, shake, shake,
    On Sukkot.

2. Did you ever shake a lulav,
    A lulav, a lulav,
    Did you ever shake a lulav,
    On Sukkot day.
    Shake upwards and downwards
    And forwards and backwards,
    Did you ever shake a lulav,
    On Sukkot day.

3. Torah Tziva Lanu Moshe

4. Little Torah, little Torah,
    Let me hold you tight,
    Teach me, teach me
    All the mitzvot
    So I may do things right,
    Torah teaches every Jew,
    Torah, Torah we love you.





The children were busy painting, gluing and creating beautiful flags that they can take to shul with them on Simchat Torah.






The children were so excited to hold a Torah in our classroom and walk around with the Torah. They especially loved going downstairs to the Shul and dancing and marching with the Torah with all of their Torah Tot friends.






It is always a highlight to make delicious challah on Fridays. Our classroom bakers are the best!!!




We are excited to start our new unit 'All About Me' when we return to school after Simchat Torah.
Wishing all of you a Chag Sameach and a Gut Yom Tov,

Pre-Nursery 1 Sukkot & Simchat Torah

Shabbat Shalom families!

This week was very eventful, and full of celebration, we had an amazing time in school, the Children have begun to settle into their daily routines. We are continuing to build those meaningful relationships with the children and their peers, and inspiring new friendships by making a buddy system, and labeled individual chairs so each child can have a sense of belonging within their environment. We will be working on 'All about Me' next week in hopes of further our self love and getting to know themselves a little better.

Here is a highlight of this weeks, learning and exploring:

Our visit to the synagogue, where we danced around the Torah, with our hand made flags.

























We had a lovely morning snack, in the Sukka, we met a Rabbi who taught  how we shake the Lulov and Etrog












We enjoyed playing in our mini Sukkah in the playground as well! 










We made delicious Challah, beautifully decorated with chocolate chips and sprinkles this week  we prepared for our shabbat party. We engaged in a variety of songs, one of this weeks favorites was 'Theres a Dinosaur, knocking at my door' song

















This week we also enjoyed our third music class with Morah Breyna! And we had our first Yoga session with Morah Rachel!

Have a great weekend and we will see you next week for new adventures together. 

Shabbat Shalom!
