PICTURE OF THE WEEK

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

Early Childhood is a time for exploration. Hands-on exploration is the way that children learn best. All of our chagim are rich in experiences using all of our five senses. We hear the sound of the shofar, we taste apples and honey, we walk to shul to daven, we taste the new fruit and we smell the delicious smells of the Yom Tov. Our classrooms are filled with excitement as children experience these sights and sounds. The yeladim “read” recipes, observe as the batter changes from liquid to solid, and predict what will happen as the challah dough rises. Budding artists create unique honey dishes, Rosh Hashana cards, tzedakah boxes, and Sukkah decorations. Just as each child is different, so too are their projects. What better way to experience tashlich than to “throw our averot” into a kiddie pool filled with plastic fish?  What better way to notice the different sounds of the shofar than to hear Rabbi Menchel blow it? What better way to understand the various parts of a lulav and Etrog than to touch it, feel it, smell it, and shake it? What better way to understand the various laws of building a Sukkah and schach than to create an edible Sukkah? What better way to internalize our learning than to sing songs with Morah Karen and Morah Vivian? What better way to reinforce our learning than to hear various fiction stories read to us by Morah Chelsea, Morah Rachel, Morah Chani, Morah Ina, Morah Judith and Morah Shayna? These rich experiences help our children remember and understand our beautiful mesorah (traditions). The happy smiling faces of the children, the enthusiastic sounds permeating the classrooms, and the delicious smells throughout the halls are a testament to the excitement for learning that begins in nursery and kindergarten!
