We had a wonderful first lesson in Gan. The kids began their morning learning our “Bo Bo Bo Boker Tov” song, as we learned each other’s names. As a class, we then said the “Shehecheyanu” prayer, thanking God for bringing us to our very first class at TIRS. We then discussed the class theme for the year, “Sammy Spider’s First Year in Gan”. Our madricha, Naomi read “Sammy Spider’s First Rosh Hashanah” and we discussed some of the important objects such as a shofar and apples and honey. For an extra sweet treat, we ate apples and honey for snack. After spending a few minutes outside, running our sillies out, we had fun working on our two art projects: (1) Making Rosh Hashanah cards using cut apples to paint; (2) Yarn wrapped apples (ask your kiddos about our gluey fun!) Finally we began our weekly Hebrew lesson, learning about the letter Shin. We practiced writing the letter and learning about words that begin with the letter Shin. Our other madricha, Leigh, was awesome with the students throughout the morning.
