This was our final week of preschool at Gan Chabad. We spent the week reviewing and having fun with letters in all of our learning centres! We sorted letters by colour, picked them up and dumped them around using our construction trucks. The water bin also had letters to explore with and scoop up! During circle time we sung ABC and had solo performances from those who volunteered. We also did a really cool painting where we used blue water and saw our names magically appear! We also used Play-Doh to trace and make different letters of the alphabet. We also went on a letter hunt in the pasta filled bin and stuck them to the door to see which letters we found. We decorated our letter books with stickers and enjoyed writing letters in the drama centre. We also enjoyed erasing the letters on the chalkboard with q-tips and named them as we went.

We ended off the year with a meaningful graduation celebration, themed around “filling our buckets with Mitzvahs”. The pre-nursery class was called upon one by one to put a mitzvah gem in their class bucket as their teachers read mitzvah that they saw them do throughout the year. The Nursery class sang songs that they had been practicing and shared mitzvoth. They also each got a special diploma and hat for graduating Nursery school. We will miss those that are moving on to JK and wish them all the best and encourage them to continue thinking with their hearts, and filling other people’s buckets by doing mitzvahs.
