Tu B'shvat through our senses

-->
Ganon at Yavneh Academy is a multi- sensory experience. Each and every day the children use all 5 senses to navigate the classroom in all areas; including art, dramatic play, manipulatives, etc. This week in honor of Tu Bshvat, Ganon Bet used their sense of touch to create beautiful trees paintings. Instead of using paint brushes, the children used their arms to create the bark of the tree, their hands as the leaves and grass, and their fingers turned into fruit! To some the paint tickled, others said it felt funny, but all around everyone had a great time creating their masterpieces!


Seth's arm is brown to create the bark!

Joe's hands were the leaves and the grass!
Jesse used his finger to make a sun!

Kaila's fingers made yummy fruit!
