We did a lot today! We spent time on the play yard after morning snack. Then we had PE with Teacher Mark. In PE we played a game w the parachute and had fun jumping from the balance beam. After PE, we read the story “Bringing Rain to the Kapiti Plain” and did a science experiment. We talked about the water cycle and made a cloud grow in a jar!
Today we used loose parts such as cinnamon sticks and small pine cones to create long structures such as trees. We discussed other shapes we could create with the cinnamon sticks, things such as houses. We painted with water colors and played and filled pots with water beads. We celebrated Havdalah together, a ceremony that marks the end of Shabbat and the beginning of the new week. The ceremony of Havdalah includes smelling spices such as cinnamon sticks and lighting a candle among other things.
Swim day! We practiced back floats and played games with our instructor.
Today we enjoyed swimming! We also got to go through a tunnel in the classroom and play with new toys.
Today we had a great time playing splashing in the pool. After swimming we finished our wooden blocks by gluing sand, seashells, and small pieces of wood. The children also enjoyed playing with the water table, cloud dough and dress up.
Today we went to visit Teacher Mark! We had fun pretending to be flying fish. We traveled the ocean, jumping from a shark, a dolphin, and a crab. We practiced different yoga poses to be each animal. We also used the parachute to make big waves and small waves depending on the speed and volume of the music.
The Tzahov class had fun in the bike yard and then came inside to make a rain forest mosaic craft.
Today the Adom group enjoyed the sunny weather on the yard. They played on the bike yard, with the water table, climbed on the structure, and played in the sand. Back inside we played with blocks, used plastic tweezers to move small wooden blocks for hand-eye coordination, and then played with drums to music.
We began our day by building with cardboard. Each piece of cardboard had a slit and the children had to connect the cardboard pieces by placing one cardboard piece inside the other cardboard piece. We then made the color green together by mixing yellow and blue colors in a big zip lock bag. The children seemed more interested in playing and painting with q tips so we grabbed some paper and painted in green.
Today at camp we decorated our own belts and learned about the different colored belts and what they symbolize! We also learned some starting poses and did some fun warmups!
