The children in Ganon Aleph baked delicious chocolate chip cookies and blondies to sell at our Early Childhood Bake Sale on Thursday. They went to the cafeteria in shifts to help sell the baked goods and collect the money. All of the tzedakah will be going to Keren Malki, an organization in Israel which assists the families of handicapped children. This offered a great opportunity to talk to the children about different disabilities. We experimented in our class so the children could learn first-hand about how to compensate for an ability they are lacking. This was a great way to increase their sensitivity towards people with disabilities.
This is the cutest thing ever. Kayla was so proud of herself today, telling us how she stood at the table with the cookies she baked. What a wonderful hands on way to teach the kids about tzedakah! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe treats were delicious. And, most importantly, the children were so proud of themselves! Kudos all around.
ReplyDeleteI saw the picture in the Jewish Standardc this past week. Dovi was so happy to see himself in the paper!
