We sang happy birthday to Israel in our classroom on Tuesday and blew out the candles on the delicious blue and white cake which we decorated in the form of an Israeli flag with the number 63! We then went outdoors and danced in the fields along with the entire school to the music of BaRock Orchestra. Afterwards, we watched a special Daglanut performance by the 7th grade girls, and sang Hatikva and other songs together.
We then returned to the early childhood wing for our simulated flight to Israel. We boarded the El Al airplane along with the other classes. Rabbi Penn piloted our plane, and after a smooth landing in Israel we began to visit the different cities. Each early childhood classroom was transformed into a different city or place in Israel. The children danced in Tel Aviv, played in the sand in Eilat, hiked in Ein Gedi, ate in the shuk, made jewelry in Tzvat, and visited the Kotel in Yerushalayim. We also enjoyed a fun and delicious barbeque outdoors.
All in all, it was a fun-filled (and thoroughly exhausting!) day of touring, creating, exploring, and learning all about our Jewish homeland.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Can't wait till Father's breakfast.
