Elias turned 4 years old today!

Elias turned 4 years old today! Karen came into the classroom to celebrate with all of us. First we sang "Happy Birthday" in both Hebrew and English and then Karen read a few books...Engineer Ari and the Rosh Hashanah Ride and the special book the Tel Aviv children made for Elias in honor of his birthday.

It is tradition in the Tel Aviv classroom to make a book with personal messages for the birthday girl or boy to take home. The children love the idea of being able to take the book home and keep it forever!

After we read the books Karen baked an apple cake with the entire class! Everyone participated! Karen had the children all take turns cutting, measuring and mixing all the ingredients together! Then we all walked down to the Community Room kitchen and watched Karen place the cake in the oven with some help from Elias of course. We are all looking forward to eating a piece of cake tomorrow!

Karen thanks so much for coming in to celebrate Elias's birthday with us! Happy Birthday Elias!
