PICTURE OF THE WEEK

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

This week we celebrated Rosh Chodesh Shevat, and with it the anticipation of the upcoming "birthday" of the trees. Each of our preschool classes celebrated a t a  Rosh Chodesh oneg where the children learned about the upcoming month. Morah Vivian showed the children pictures of trees that are blooming in Eretz Yisrael. Our classes are learning about the importance of trees. We are using a  multi-disciplinary  approach to  our tree  study. Books are being read in both fiction and nonfiction. Children are using inventive spelling to describe what they know about trees. In the science realm, we are studying how roots bring water to the plants by watching what happens when a celery stick is placed in food coloring. In math, our unit on measurement coincides with our learning. We are measuring various objects related to our study. One of the highlights of this unit of study is planting  a lima bean  and watching  it sprout . We observe and record what we are seeing. Recycling and conservation are  being  studied  as well . Projects using various art materials are a delight to the children. Our classes will also be preparing fruit salads to enjoy during snack time and Shabbat parties. Learning is  most meaningful when it is integrated and relevant to students.
