Dear Families, 

Parsha, Yarn and a Second Chance

This week the Yellow Room explored the idea of second chances. This Sunday is Pesach Sheni, literally the ‘Second Pesach’. That’s because the Jewish people who weren’t able to bring a korban-present to Hashem asked for a second chance. And Hashem gave it to them. A month later, on the 14^th of Iyar, a month after Pesach, the people who missed their chance were able to bring a korban-present. The Yellow Room Friends remembered that the korban Pesach was a sheep which is why they created their own Pesach Sheni sheep this week. Coordinating the wool and winding it around their hands or boxes was challenging but with persistence they did it. Then they cut the loops, added the sheep’s face and feet.

 

Torah + Art

The Yellow Room is preparing for their graduation. They have been rehearsing their songs and preparing some presentations as well. This week they began working on their Torahs. They took their Mitzva notes which they had saved over the year and connected them in long scrolls to create their own Torah. They will complete them next week so they can use them at the Graduation.

 

Sefira + Math

Counting the days till Shavuos is something the Kindergarten does every day. Each day they slide another bead onto another day as they count Sefiras Haomer. Utilizing the Sefiras Haomer marble maze, they graphed the speed at which they could get the marble through the sefirah maze, all the way to day 49, after which the marble reaches the Torah. The results amazed the contestants:

 

Jacob : 8 seconds

Shyli: 10 seconds

Morah: 11 seconds

Ronan: 15 seconds

Leanna: 20 seconds

 

Shabbat Shalom!
