Slippery Business!



Just how did the Jewish people get the oil for the Menorah?
 
 
 
 
 
The children in Gan Bet experienced olive-oil-making for themselves...
 
 
 
 
 
...as they touched, squeezed, and spilled olives and their oil into cups and on the tables...
 



 
Look at the oil that Anna squeezed from her olives!
 
We also experimented with oil and paint and water...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
What a slippery, beautiful mess!

Pat's Pals

The rain did not stop us on Thursday morning when Gan Gimmel had a visit with Pat Rose and her pals. Pat brought with her a variety of animals for the children to learn about. She had a rabbit, a lamb, a wallaby, a snake, a frog and one day old baby chicks.
The children were excited to learn different things about the various animals such as how the protect themselves and what they eat. The children were even able to pet the animals and compare how they were different from one another. It was a very hands on experience!
