Our community- My House

Friends start an exciting unit- Our Community! Community starts with people who live or work together. 

Some people live in houses, some people live in apartment building. Few families can live in the house, 
a lot more families live in the apartment building. 
Friends learned that every house has an address. 
Friends drew pictures of their homes, and  mailed it to their home address.


Icy Fingers, Icy toes...

Is it winter, yet? Yes, said friends. 
Friends enjoyed watching snow falling looking outside of the window. 

We decided to go outside to explore winter! 
What did we find out? We put on snow pants, sweaters, hats, scarves and mittens to go outside. 
Winter is cold. 

We noticed that snowflakes fall from the clouds. Sometimes, they fall one by one, sometime in clusters. 
Snowflakes do not like alike. 

Snow is sticking to the ground, snow is sticking to our mittens. 
Puddle water turns into ice. Ice is slippery! 
Frost makes our noses and cheeks red. 

The temperature goes DOWN! 

How can we get warm? By moving- jump and dance:) 

Friends made winter collages. 



These weeks we learned

Friends were so happy to learn letter D. 
Letter D is David's, Doron's and Daniela's letter. Their names start with letter D. 
Doron's aunt Dina's name start with letter D as well.
To make letter one needs one big line and one big curve. 

Friends have great time decoration letter D with doughnuts stickers. Delicious!!! 

The next week after, we learned letter P. To make letter P, one needs one big line and one little curve. 
Look at our "popping" Ps. 
Doron was proud to share that his grandfather's name Paul start with letter P. 
We celebrated letter P with making the pancakes. 
Friends mixed the pancake butter. 
We fried PANCAKES! 

We ate them with maple syrup! PERFECT breakfast!

Letter Chof

Sasha our Mail Man trudged through the freezing cold and wet snow. He knew Prek was excitedly awaiting his arrival since he would bring us a new letter. He did so making sure it stayed dried under fall of the snow.
He opened up the envelope for us and inside we found the Letter Chof. Chof looks like Letter Kaf but it is missing a dot.

Bibi drawing Letter Kaf and Chof to hang on our wall.
He worked hard on the letters. :)

The Friends are becoming real life Alef Beis Champions!! Wahoo!
I am so proud of their work and progress!
Let's keep reviewing the letters with them. :)

Happy birthday Daniela

We celebrated  a mini birthday party with Daniela on her actual Hebrew birthday before her big party coming up this Tuesday.
