Creating a Banner!

Today we created our Shalom Party Banner! We discussed what we wanted to do in circle and decided to do hand prints in different shades of green because we already made green shirts and the song we chose talks about walking, "hand in hand." We had a great time today mixing different shares and tints of green, blue and yellow as each child got to create their own unique color to decorate the banner. Everyone enjoyed choosing their colors and watching them mix together and then taking a brush and feeling the wet paint tickle on their hand. Josh said that it was is first time painting his hand and he ended up painting it three times! Way to go Josh! It was so fun and everyone is excited to share it with you next Wednesday!

Making A Banner

The Haifa class spent the morning working very hard on our Shalom Party banner. We experimented with Sharpies and rubbing alcohol to see what happens when they are mixed on fabric. The end result is a beautiful piece filled with running ink! We traced quarters with Sharpies and then used eye droppers to drop the rubbing alcohol on the fabric.

We are very excited for you to see the end result next week!

"Say Trees!"

 

The Levana children were excited as they prepared for the Shalom Party, and they proudly wore their tree crowns and tie-dyed shirts. Trees are Blowing in the Wind is a favorite song that we learned for Tu B'Shevat, and our classroom tree was a labor of love that spanned several months. The teachers and children were happy to spend some quiet time together in the classroom, and then to join the other classes to perform for their families and guests.
