We had a very nice and peaceful day today. The children were clearly happy to be back in school, and we all enjoyed being reunited after the time off. The Kohavim children love to play games, and today we played penny hockey, Uno, Hiss, and Matching Madness. Maria had an interested audience when she read Mud Puddle to a group of children. There was naturally a lot of building going on, as well as artwork being created. During our second morning meeting the children proudly shared what they had been working on. Hadley, Mia, and Ilana made some colorful and enticing pictures of carnivals and play places that they created in their minds and then on paper. We talked about what fun it would be if these places actually existed and we could visit them. Teddy Friedman, Teddy Fox, Joshua, Oliver, Jesse, and Nathaniel talked about the structures they built using Magna-tiles. Each boy had a part of the story to tell, and it was great to see them taking turns as they talked to the rest of the group about their creations. The other children were actively involved in playing the games mentioned above. It was a great first day back after our winter break.
