Purim is Coming!

Gan Aleph is ready for Purim! Ahava and Chanani help to roll up their friends' completed megillot. Sammy stays in the Purim spirit by wearing a costume as he builds in the block center. And Jordy and Vicky show us true simcha dancing!

Purim fun has only just begun...

Gan Aleph is actively engaged in their interactive Purim unit this week. The addition of new crowns, costumes and a "real" palace transformed our drama center into Shushan. The children honed their social skills by sharing the new props and costumes. They were able to reinforce the first few parts of the Purim story that we learned in class. As a follow up to all of this dramatic role play, the children have started to write their own megillot. This will enable the children to reinforce what they have learned and connect to the story. Stay tuned for more updates as we explore this wonderful holiday through many different avenues. What is your favorite childhood memory of Purim? We'd love to know!
