Once again the children listened to the story of Purim. They sat on the blue rug listening with their mouths wide open, as we told the Purim story while using finger puppets for props.
When the story was over we invited the children to come over two at a time, to the Art Center. In partners/buddies they worked on one stick puppet together. When the stick puppets dry we will all have the opportunity to play with them (Esther, King Ahashuerus, Haman, cousin Mordechai) in our palace/castle in the city of Shushan.
One teacher stayed with the two children long enough to help them work smoothly together with each other. The teacher modeled the kind of behavior we wanted to see.
We gave them the language by scripting some of the dialoge that works when working with a partner.
