Shana Tova!

We've had so much fun preparing for Rosh Hashana!  We stuffed shofars, painted fish for tashlich, made honey cupcakes, and made ram hats!

We had a lot of indoor time today because of the rain, which gave us a chance to dance with beanbags, paint, and build with our friends!

Rosh Hashana is coming!!

We have been so busy this past week preparing for Rosh Hashana! We've been painting honeycombs and apples, gluing bumblebees and fish heads. We've tasted sour pomegranates and sweet apples in honey.  We've sorted apples by color, matched fish colors and found bumblebees hiding in the clouds. And we've learned all about the shofar... where it comes from, the sounds it makes, and how we have to be quiet in shul to hear all 100 blows!

Aside from Rosh Hashana, we've been having a blast on the playground with the balls, bubbles and tricycles. We've been building houses and rocketships with magnatiles, reading, singing songs, and having fun with Morah Lilly!
