The Very Hungry Caterpillars in Gan Gimmel

[Teacher's note: May is blogging month. In honor of this, we are teaching the children about writing a blog post. This post was worked on by Tamar Ginsberg, Atara Pickett, Yehuda Farajun, and Ruthie Schranz.  The children decided what they would like to write about and then typed it up on an IPad.

We got caterpillars in Gan  Gimmel. They are turning into butterflies. They will roll themselves into a chrysalis and they will stay there for a few days and then they will turn into a butterfly. If they turn into a butterfly they will be beautiful. Right now they are eating food that looks like peanut butter but it's not. It's food for caterpillars. They move slowly. We are going to watch them until they turn into butterflies.

Every Thursday we go to the computer room to play. We have fun. We play games. We play Lexia. Lexia helps you how to read. It has games that help you learn reading. There are many levels to pass. You have to wear headphones so you could hear the game. You need to log in by typing your name and password. We love Lexia!!!

Today is Unity Day at Yavneh Academy. We learned about being nice to our friends. We watched a movie about how when someone doesn't let you play, they should let you. Some friends asked the other friends if they could go on the monkey bars. They said you can't play so go away. One friend said they can't say that to you it's not nice! And then the teacher came and helped out. We talked about how you should not be mean to your friends.
