B"H

This week we celebrated Tu’Bshevat and learned all about trees! The classes explored what kinds of foods we get from trees, and the different things that come from them, such as sticks, acorns, pinecones and leave. They also spent time talking about the differences between the trees here around us, and the trees in Israel, and got to make visuals of how the trees look different.

The Nitzanim class planted seeds in cups with soil while the Perachim class got to plant beans in little baggies. The children enjoyed dancing around the trees in their classes, singing happy birthday in Hebrew and in English. They also got to taste some of the fruits that come from the tree’s in Israel during a special Tu’Bshevat Seder that we all enjoyed for snack.
