Tu B'Shevat in Here! (Well almost here)

 Gan Gimmel is eagerly anticipating Rosh Chodesh Shevat!

The children learned that over winter vacation we will celebrate Tu B'Shevat.  In honor of this special holiday that celebrates the trees, Gan Gimmel began working on a special family tree project.  The children learned about the different parts of a tree- the roots, the trunk and the branches.

 

Then, they painted beautiful trees onto cardboard (a way to recycle and save the trees!) Finally,  the children collected all of the Hebrew names for their grandparents, parents and siblings.  They copied the names using Hebrew block print. Copying is a wonderful way for children to practice forming letters.

 They cannot wait to bring home the finished masterpieces!
