GAN (K) Blog 22-23

This week we began our unit on Passover. We began by reading the book, “Sammy Spider’s First Passover.” We then learned all about the 4 Questions or the Mah Nishtanah. This week we focused on the first question, “Why do we eat matzah?” After reviewing the story of Passover and the reasoning for the matzah, we played a fun matzah or chametz game. Then we decorated our own matzah trays. We then discussed how on holidays or important things in life, we say the Shehecheyanu prayer, and read “I Say Shehecheyanu” by Joanne Rocklin. After practice saying the Shehecheyanu, we talked about when we might say it in our everyday lives. Finally, we concluded our lesson with learning a new Hebrew letter, Pey for פֶּסַח, Pesacḥ.
