pesach, hagadah, drum circle

 

 

Pesach is around the corner and we are busier than ever learning about the Seder and preparing our  hagados!

 

Counting and adding stones to our Seder plate

 

Gluing jewels to our afikomen bag.  We learned that we eat the afikomen for dessert after the meal. 

After Morah Sara Baila's wedding, we decided to create our own wedding!  We turned the table into a chupah and started singing and dancing!

Gluing popsicle sticks together to be our Trivet ( hot plate) during the Seder meal

Designing clothes for our dolls

 

building letters out of cubes

 

 

Play dough matzah!

We discussed all the items on the Seder plate.  We spoke about the meaning of the z'roa, karpas, beitza, Charoset, chazeret and the maror.  The children loved learning about each item and asked many questions.

preparing for pesach

This week we were busy sweeping , cleaning, and preparing our hagadah for Pesach!

 

Painting and splotching our Seder plate

 

Tracing our hands to make a ring holder

We discovered the paint spread nicely when we used our hands

 

After tracing our hand, we cut our paper hand

The metallic paint is shiny!

It feels so smooth!

Drawing pictures in the Magid part of our hagadah

We drew the Jewish people in Egypt.

Baby Moshe in a basket floating down the Nile river.

The plagues that were sent to the Egyptians.

Hurray! We opened our hand towels that we tie dyed the other day.

We will use the towels to dry our hands at the Seder.

We made little booklets to go in our hagadah. We had fun stapling them closed.

To promote teamwork, we searched for the "hidden matzah" in groups.

Decorating our wine cover that will be used during the Seder

Cleaning our classroom for Pesach

We put all the "chametz" in a box

When our kitchen area was chametz-free we wrote a sign that said "Kosher for Pesach"

We even covered our kitchen counters

Taking turns sweeping the floor

We Sorted through the food in our classroom. We put all our chametz in a box. 

See you later wafers!

Bye-bye frosting!

Searching for OU P (kosher for Passover symbol)

In our sensory bin we made a pond with rocks, lily pads, frogs and snakes.
