Lag Baomer

Cutting up wrapping paper for one of our Mothers Day specials

                         Lag Ba'omer Fire, we discussed the colors of fire, the heat, the light.......

  We learned that we use real wood to make bon fires, here Maor is adding wood to our classroom bon fire!

                            We painted our feet, we will send home that project in a few weeks

 "Ve ahavta le reicha kamocha" - the children are putting what Rabbi Akiva taught us into play. "Love your friend like you love yourself"

                                                     Collecting sticks for our bon fire

                                                 Sivan is climbing the rock climbing wall

 S                          earching for our first letter that begins with our English names.

 Morah read us a book of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and his son and how they hid in the cave from the mean Romans and learned Torah!

 Then we learned that to hide from the Romans from catching us learning Torah, the Jews would play with bows and arrows and make bon fires.

                     Stop, Drop and Roll is what we know to do if chas ve shalom (g-d forbid) we get caught                       on fire!

 Thank you to the wonderful Parents who volunteered in the classroom so that Morah Necha and I can enjoy a delicious breakfast!

                       Above the children used rocks to spell out letters in the Aleph Beit.

We laced beads on pipe cleaners, not sure who had more fun the yeladim or Daniels dad?

                                                      Wednesday with Morah Lily

                                  The kids love Morah Lily they ran over to give her a goodbye hug

                          Nursery three invited us to join them for a fun Lag Baomer party!

 Then Morah retold us how special this day is and how on this day Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai shared the secrets from the Torah with his students.

                       The children pretended to roast real marshmallows and then ate them all up!
