Trains, Letters and a Mystery box!

All aboard! 🚂 🚂 🚂

What a memorable week we just had. We took a train ride during the amazing events offered on Grandparents Day. We heard the train go “choo choo” as well as the bell ringing as we boarded for our fun journey. We got to taste some of the fruit offered in the fruit stand. We also held a couple of heavy rocks at the  rock painting station.  They were big (to our little hands) heavy, rough, porous rocks.
Thank you grandpa David for joining us in our adventure.

Magnets are so much fun. We have a set of magnetic alphabet in the class. We have started to hear the sounds of the letters and of course their names. We may not fully understand it yet but it’s setting early letter awareness for when we get older. We like to put the letters on the trays. It takes some effort for our small fingers to remove them though.  It helps with strengthening our muscles in our tiny chubby fingers.

What did the mystery box surprise us with this week? In it we found three little rubber frogs. Squishy and soft, we squeezed them and banged them on the floor.

Our hard work on strengthening our leg muscles is proving to be so worth it! It is evident that they are stronger. The time that we stand holding on to furniture is ever-increasing. Games like “bouncy-bouncy-on-the-floor” is one of our faves. We are also encouraged to stand on our feet by having our snack placed on the table. With assistance we eat it while standing. It’s usually one puff or two.

 I invite parents to bring in their child’s favorite books so we can share them in class. It brings familiarity from home. This week, we enjoyed Ella’s favorite Hebrew book. Thank you Ella for sharing it with us.

Shabbat Shalom,
Morah Anna
