Winter Olympics in Ganon

The Winter Olympics in Sochi and the recent snowy weather inspired us to have our own Olympic games at Yavneh.   Ganon Aleph joined with Ganon Bet for some competitive sledding on Yavneh's hills.   Everyone was a winner and came home with a  special gold medal!!

Winter fun!

After a lot of waiting the children in Gan Bet
 got to enjoy the snow on our playground! 

This afternoon we braved the cold and 
large mountains of icy snow 

to sled and play!

Sledding on Yavneh's Hills

The abundance of snow gave us an opportunity to have some sledding fun on the hills of Yavneh.  Now that it's melting, we're looking forward to the next snowfall!

Have You Ever Eaten a Snowman!?

Snow days at home may be fun, but snow days in school are even more fun! Gan Aleph spent a lot of time enjoying the snow and many fun snow-related activities. In addition to sledding, jumping and rolling in the snow, we baked our very own snowman cookies! Sammy's parents joined our class and helped us bake the dough, shape them into 3 different sized circles and assemble a delicious snowman. The children used chocolate chips, candy corn, hershey's kisses and other yummy treats to fill in the eyes, nose, mouth, hat, scarf and buttons of the snowman. When the snowmen were ready, we enjoyed them as our special winter snack of the day!

Fun and Run in the Snow

What a fun time we had in the snow. Everybody put on their snow clothes and we went to the giant hill outside. The children built a snowman and tried to build an igloo but decided it was more fun to climb the giant hill! Everyone waited their turn and went sledding. At the end of our snow adventure we returned to the class and had a special treat-- hot cocoa! It was yummy and it warmed our tummies!

Fun in the Snow

We were happy to have a snow day on Monday, but even happier to return to school so that we could go sledding on the hills of Yavneh and play in the snow with our friends in Ganon Aleph! We also brought some snow into our classroom to keep in our sand table, which the children renamed the snow box! We will continue to have fun in the snow, outside and inside, until it

melts away!
