Purim!!

We are so excited that Purim is coming! We decorated our classroom. making a giant mask, hamentashen, basket and gragger!

   

We learned how Haman's hat was shaped like a triangle, and practiced making triangles with our hands.



 We've been learning about how the story takes place in Shushan.  We practiced building Shushan out of different shapes and  magnatiles, and making King Achashverosh's castle out of big blocks!








We had a chance to lace different items of Purim, like a Megillah, Hamentashen, and Gragger.



 We practiced our letter aleph through daled by matching hamentashen with the letters on them.




We stamped different shapes for Purim, played with play dough and made clowns!





We cut out our handprints, glued them together and decorated them to make masks!


Our favorite thing to do this week was shake the graggers! We put different items into containers to see what would make better graggers.  We discovered that pom poms and feathers are too quiet, but beans and rocks make a lot of noise!! Then we practiced making noise when we said Haman's name.









We celebrated Rosh Chodesh Adar today by dancing to Purim music with Morah Abbys's class.




We love the new puzzles Yosef Tzvi brought to our classroom!




And had so much fun with Morah Lilly!






We hope everyone enjoyed Grandparent's Day!  Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow!  Shabbat Shalom!
