This week in the fours March 2, 2012:
Welcome back. Off to a busy week!
Music with Marcy and Cantor Janet. With Marcy, the fours played the wood
instruments and marched and sang to the direction of Conductor Marcy.
The children played wood blocks and rhythm sticks. The fours
learned the word "tutti", which means with all voices or instruments
together. We sang lento, piano, forte, and vivace. Cantor Janet taught us some Purim songs and we sure to boo Haman when she sang his name.
We continue to talk about the sun, the moon and the stars. The class
discussed dawn and dusk, and what pretty colors one can see when the
sun is rising and setting. We look forward to our trip to the Hudson River Museum on Tuesday.

Wednesday was Topsy Turvey day! What fun the fours had being so silly.
Some children wore two different shoes, pajamas, different socks, pants
and shorts and two shirts all at once. Some wore clothes backwards,
silly hats, mismatched legwarmers , a crown and one four even had two
different colored legs on her pants. Last but not least we had Abby
wearing a pigtail and a braid.It was fun for the fours to stand up and show all their silly clothes. For snack we had breakfast of course!. We had waffles and cereal with milk. The children thought it was so funny.

Because it was Topsy Turvy day we listed all the T words we could think
of. We came up with 47 T words. We have to admit we looked at a picture
dictionary for some help. The fours were very proud of themselves.

We had yoga with Allison. It was great fun.We did lots of animal poses
and Allison says we are really good at it.
While talking about Purim we talked about heroes. When asked what a hero is the fours answered that it's someone who saves you, and someone who protects us from the bad guys. While we talked, we asked the class who are some heroes that they know:
Firefighters because they keep us safe
Policemen because they catch the bad guys
Doctors because they keep us healthy
Mordei and Queen Esther
Superheroes who wear capes so they can fly
And our favorite .... Our Moms and Dads!!
Shabbat Shalom
