Welcome!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to come check out this blog. I created this blog, along with Mushka Katzman with the intention of trying to give and get different ideas for preschool. You know, now that it's summer and people actually have time to breathe, it would be lovely if some of you could take the time to look through your cameras and post pictures of different crafts, activities,etc.Thank you! I look forward to the inspiration!

bullitein for shavuot

so for shavuot, i had the kids trace and number their feet, some kids drew on sandals, manicures, etc. i used tool, and white paper cut out in round clouds, after stapling th ebottom tool , i left the top part open so tha t my kids could stuff the clouds with fluff, cotton balls. 2 children glues yellow cottonballs for a sun, i cut out shades and a mouth. we used brown butcher paper, glue mixed with water, and painted on glue then put sand on top, ( crazy story! i first took sand from the playground's sand box, the kids started but soon the whole room stank, i said i think its the sand, and the lead teacher says it smells like a cat litter box! needless to say i used sand from the sand table next class!!!!) for mountains a tall short and wide one/.

lag baomer

We had our celebration on Friday, we had five different activities outdoors. 1 decorating the playground fence with curling ribbon, parachute~popcorn, a i spy game with photos of different things in the playgroun but zoomed in! kids loved this one!
Later we usually have shabbat send off accomponied by a guitar, we had each class sitting together in a circle around a fake bonfire, I brought in a n electric one they were in awe! im sure half of them went home saying ,,,,,! we sang viahavtah, amar rabbi akiva...ya get my drift! bonfires` my co teacher for Judaica let her 4s make them by covering a square of styerfoam with brown construction paper, they had twigs a nd red and orange cellophane.

Pesach & Lag bomer

Well here at the JPS 3s, we had a wonderful model matzah bakery with rabbi levin. we froze our matzahs and had them by the model seder, more about that later! the kids loved to play model matzah bakery in dramatic play, we had a project that they all really enjoyed. we took small bubble wrap and paint in all colors and let the kids paint a spuare of wrap however they liked and they stamped on a circle, matzA!we also made bricks on a triangle pyramid we used blocks of different shapes and wound rubber bands around them in both horizontal and verticle, painted the surface of the "brick" and again stamped it on paper, used them as part of my bulletin board a scene of pyramids, the nile, baby moshe, and frogs!
