The Story of Yonah

The children in Ganon Aleph learned that the story of Yonah is read in shul on Yom Kippur, and they became familiar with the story through books, songs, puppets, and felt board figures.  They have been re-enacting the story

at the water table,


with puppets,


and even inside a giant box (pretending to be Yonah inside the fish!)

They know that once Yonah davened, did teshuvah, and was sorry for not listening to Hashem, the fish spit him out onto dry land.  They also learned that you can never run away or hide from Hashem!
