Nursery School Update

This week in the 4's April 25, 2012

We had another busy week! On Monday, we read books by Eric Carle, ( The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, The Tiny Seed and Papa Please Get Me the Moon). The children really enjoyed listening to the stories and seeing Carle's unique illustrations. On Tuesday we went to SUNY Purchase to see the puppet show of three of the stories - The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and Papa Please Get Me the Moon For Me? The favorite in our class was Papa Please Get Me the Moon!

Thursday was a very fun and exciting day for our class! We celebrated Israel's 64th birthday! We took our tickets and our passports and off to Israel we went! We went on an archaeological dig in Beer Sheva, we visited a kibbutz and saw a chicken, a rabbit and a turtle. It was so much fun! We stopped and bought something in the marketplace inTel Aviv and had snack at an outdoor cafe. We visited Ashley's Poppy at the Western Wall, and he told us all about it. We wrote down our thoughts and and put them into the cracks in the wall. At the end of the day we sang Happy Bithday to Israel and we frosted cupcakes and put blue sprinkles on them. Ashley's grandfather was going to to read Sammy Spider's First Trip to Israel, but we ran out of time. We hope he comes back to our class soon and read to us! Thank you to everyone that made the day so special.

On Friday we celebrated Shabbat with Jared's mom. Shabbat Shalom! Have a nice weekend!
