During lunch bunch yesterday, Lucas and Jonathan were thinking of different ways to practice their aleph-bet. After finding a puzzle, Lucas decided they should try to put the letters back in aleph-bet-ical order. Jonathan agreed. Working together, they dumped all the pieces out, mixed them up, and turned them right side up. One by one they found each letter, asking to be reminded of the names and orders for each. They even negotiated their own system for taking turns, patiently waiting and allowing each other time to find letters! Pretty soon they were humming the aleph-bet song, and Becca and Jayden started singing along. Later, everyone took turns tracing the aleph-bet with stencils. Today we'll think of more ways we can practice our hebrew letters!
It is so interesting that they were motivated to learn the name of each of the letters. The song really does allow them to cement the names into their minds. Hebrew school here come the Children's Center kids!
