Flexing Our Muscles




This week, the morot in Ganon Bet filled the sand table with rice and beans. They added cups and clothespins, challenging the children to pick up the beans with the clothespins. This fun and effective exercise prepared those small muscles for writing!




The children are also learning about differing abilities. Rebecca and Shalom are further challenged to pick out beans without the use of one hand (Rebecca) or vision (Shalom). It was a great way to learn about the wonderful body that Hashem has given each of us, and the many ways that we can use it to help us get along in the world.
