B"H

The start of the year has been a very busy and exciting time for everyone at Gan Chabad! Everyone enjoyed learning all about Rosh Hashanah, through lots of learning provocations. We had apple sorting and stamping for creative arts, Shofar making and listening as a neat sensory experience and honey comb paintings to help us understand where honey comes from. Everyone really enjoyed music with Morah Deena, she had us dancing like apple trees and moving like Bees! We also enjoyed meeting all the new friends in our classes!

We also got started on learning all about the letter A. We welcomed mat man into our classes, and built the letter A with him. In the Nitzanim class for fine gross motor we placed popsicles sticks on the letter A. We had a blast with animals and play dough. Our sensory bin was filled with water and letters to make a big alphabet soup!! We.got very creative and glued cotton balls on to an airplane and at circle time, we flew like airplanes and chopped like alligators. We also had the coolest farm in our drama center, complete with an alligator pond!

In the Perachim Class we focused on the letter A by colouring in pages of Apples and Alligators. We also read a great book all about ants during circle time. We worked our fine motor skills by writing the letter A on our own. For science they enjoyed exploring with magnets to see what is magnetic and what is not. They also used different shapes to make different patterns with.
