Planes, Trains and Automobiles!!

We finished learning about Chanukah this week.  We made a Chanukah collage with stickers, made potato latkes with Morah Abby's class, and spun dreidels that lit up!

We also learned the letter Bet (ball) this week. We made Bet puppets, Bet out of playdough, and we all practiced throwing balls!

We also had Rosh Chodesh club this week.  We learned about the Kotel, and then got to make a Kotel out of crackers and cream cheese!

We also started our unit on transportation this week!  We've been flying airplanes to Israel, rolling cars down ramps, beeping horns on buses, and riding choo choo trains!

 We used different size popsicle sticks to make an airplane.... the little for the tail, the medium for the base and the large for the wings!

 We painted large vehicles to decorate our classroom... a yellow bus, a blue airplane, a black car and a red boat.





We rolled cars in paint and watched as they made fun tracks on the paper!


The children were given different shapes - circles, rectangles, a square and a triangle - to make their own choo choo train!



And we also...
played ball outside!

 introduced our new pet, Hockey, to the class!


and mixed colors like the mice in Mouse Paint (by Ellen Stoll Walsh)

We can't wait until our Shabbat Party tomorrow!  Shabbat Shalom!
