First Tel Aviv Circle Time: Meeting Chester!

The Tel Aviv class had a wonderful first circle time today! We learned our Tel Aviv welcome song and passed the torah from child to child as we welcomed each to our class. Together we read a story about the first day of school and had the opportunity to learn about all the places where we play in the classroom. We learned lots of important things about being a member of the Tel Aviv class and we even got the opportunity to meet Chester and Bruce!

Chester is a raccoon from the story The Kissing Hand. Every weekend (starting in a week or two) a child from the Tel Aviv class will have the opportunity to take Chester home with them.

Bruce is a shark puppet and Lauri used exciting and entertaining voices to introduce him to the class every single child was in giggles. Our first circle went so well and I am excited to share and learn more together!

Board game fun with Chester!

This past weekend Molly took Chester home! While visiting their home Chester, Molly and Molly's dad made a special Chester Board game together! The game which Molly calls the, "Chester Game" is a game where you spin the spinner and then move your piece to the same color lips as the spinner. The goal of the game is to get to the end while collecting the kisses from the book, "The Kissing Hand." The board game itself is even in the shape of a hand! Thank you Molly and Jason for creating such a fun game! We are so glad that you had such a good weekend with Chester and are ecstatic to have this new game to play in our class!
