Little Cave Explorers

This week we went on a bear hunt!

We stepped barefoot on grass, mud, snow, and water and into our cave! We spoke all about Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai learning Torah in a cave. There was religious persecution, so he took his son and learned Torah day and night in hiding. Hashem provided him with water from a stream to drink and a special carob tree to eat.

We made trail mix and ate in our cave, too. 

We know Rabbi Akivah became a great Torah scholar when he started learning Torah as an adult. He realized it’s never too late by watching water make a hole in a rock. He knew that with continued practice, he’d be able to learn Torah too. We took water and dripped it into a rock to try to make a hole.

We worked on our self-portrait art.

We painted and cut to create our own version inspired by the artist Henry Matisse.

We sorted and counted bears and colors, and we used playdough to create sculptures with toothpicks.

This week we practiced our letters, W and the Hebrew letter Sin.

We enjoyed Music with Morah Robin, Yoga with Ms Ace, Playball with Coach Anthony, and Animaly with Morah Nadav.

We look forward to next week, celebrating Lag B'Omer and Mother's Day.
