Yesterday, the EC classes initiated our first ever Bereishit Fair! This amazing learning experience was completely developed and implemented by the collaboration of our model team of teachers. Each classroom was set up to represent a different day of Creation, along with hands-on projects and activities. For Day 1, children made shadow puppets and frosted black and white cookies.
On Day 2, a water table was set up for play, and children made clouds with shaving cream.Children planted seeds on Day 3, and made collages of trees and grass. Day 4's classroom had stars projected on the ceiling, and children created original designs of stars, moon, and sun. For Day 5, real fish were available for observation, and children played a matching game with various types of birds and fish.
On Day 6, the children dressed in animal costumes, and held races and dances.
Back in their own classrooms, children learned about Day 7, our very own Shabbat, which of course we celebrate every week in school.
Kayla loved telling us about it over Shabbat- and especially how much she liked visiting Ganon Aleph's classroom!!
