Happy Birthday Zaylin!

Kindergarten celebrated Zaylin's birthday! Zaylin's mommy and daddy came to celebrate with us too! We made birthday cards, baked a delicious cake, gave tzedakah, wished Zaylin birthday wishes and he even gave us a bracha as well! We loved playing freeze dance and showing Zaylin's mommy and daddy the sign language we learned. Thank you to Zaylin for the party gifts for our friends as well as our class gift. We can't wait to use them!

Shapes

Kindergarten has been learning all about shapes. 3D shapes such as cylinders, spheres, pyramids, cubes, cones and more. We even had a classroom scavenger hunt to find all the different shapes we learned about.
We also learned about how many sides certain shapes have such as triangles, rectangles, squares, octagons and more. We took our clipboards and went outside for a scavenger hunt to see if we could find shapes with the amount of sides we learned about. Look at all of the items the children found....rectangle school signs, square street signs, diamond shaped fence areas and even a street sign the shape of a pentagon. What a fun and educational experience!

From Caterpillar to Butterfly

Over the past month, kindergarten talked about the life cycle of a butterfly. We read our weekly reader and discussed as well as made predictions about our topic. Kindergarten also learned a song about it! Feel free to encourage your children to sing it to you. Kindergarten also got to watch the life cycle right before their very eyes! Our caterpillars started out very small and after eating and eating, they got bigger and bigger. Eventually they formed cocoons at the top of the net and when they were ready, beautiful butterflies came out. When all of our butterflies were here, we let them all go! If you look at our last picture, you can see one of them near Jacky's arm!

Dr. Khodorkovsky Comes to Visit!

In honor of Health Month, Emy's Dad came to visit! Dr. Khodorkovsky is an ER doctor. He showed the children a very interesting book that taught them all about how our body works. Dr. Khodorkovsky also brought medical instruments to demonstrate to the children. Each child had the opportunity to use his stethoscope and light to examine each other. Emy's dad also brought some souvenirs for the children to take home, like a cool pen and light. The children learned so much and really enjoyed our visitor. Thank you for coming!
