Fall Leaves

Ganon Bet used magnifying glasses to look carefully at some leaves. We discovered that one side of the leaf had bumps called veins. The veins carry food to the leaf to help it stay green. We know our body has veins that carries blood throughout to give us food.

We made beautiful leaf wall hanging by painting the veins of different oak and maple leaves and then pressing them onto a piece of of burlap.

Got Milk?

What can you learn from a mud puddle? Kira and Hannah discovered that leaves can float on water, that a breeze or a stir from a stick will move them around,that adding more dirt makes the water thicker. Mostly, they used their imaginations to turn the mud into soup, and later chocolate milk, and understood that everything is more fun when shared with a friend!

Ganon Bet Enjoys The Season

The children of Ganon Bet enjoy going outside and using their senses to experience the Fall season. We look at the beautiful foliage, we smell the clean fresh air, we feel the cold breeze and rain drops and we hear the wind blowing on the crunchy fall leaves. We collected colorful leaves and decided to make leaf print wall hangings on burlap. First we painted the leaves, then we pressed them down on the burlap and rubbed them with a paper towel. These beautiful fall projects will adorn our classroom throughout the season and then be sent home for Thanksgiving for you to enjoy.

Fall Leaves

The Yavneh playground is resplendent with the colors of fall, and the children are delighting in the beautiful foliage. They use their whole bodies and all of their senses to learn about the changing season. Fall leaves are collected, compared, examined, sorted, piled up high and tossed in the air. Watching the children, one is taken by the joy and beauty in Hashem's world.
