Rohan alerted the teachers to three tree stumps just waiting to be moved into our currently being renovated part of our playground.
Maria gathered a number of the Kohavim children to help her move the stump to the playground. With a lot of hard work and many audible "heave hos", the first stump made it in. Sasha then followed suit, and with her Tel Aviv students, moved another stump. As we talk to the children about hardwork and the slavery of the Jewish people in the time of Moses, they are actually experiencing what it's like to work hard under the hot sun. Obviously the conditions are very different and sno-cones are readily available but there's nothing like an actual experience to help convey a story.

I love how engaged the kids are in creating new wonderful spaces. Work, slaves, work! :)
