B"H

This week the Nitzanim class started learning about the letter D. For sensory, our water bin was a duck pond, and we played with dump trucks in shaving cream and sand. We worked our fine gross motor skills by balancing balls on to toilet paper rolls. Our block center was also filled with dump trucks. For creative art, some of us made donut paintings using pool noodles, and we all glued shapes on to our letter D dinosaur! We used our fine gross motor skills to match coloured Pom poms to the correct colour donut using tongs. For creative art, we coloured pictures of dump trucks, and made very cute paper bag ducks. During circle time, mat man came to visit and taught us how to make the letter D. 

The Perachim class continued to explore the theme of Fall and worked on the letter D. Morah Hanna led the class in an activity about counting Fall leaves. After snack, the students got to express their creativity by painting leaves and then making artwork by pressing the leaves onto paper. For math, they practiced counting up to 10 using marbles. The class got to go for a walk outside and collect our own Fall leaves. We then went back inside and played with the leaves while learning about why they fall. As a sensory activity, they observed what happens when they poured water on paper. During circle they reviewed letters A B C and D, sang songs and did art including cats and caterpillar to add to the words that they know that start with the letter C.
