Frozen Fruit Smoothie Pops

The frozen fruit smoothie pops were a" big hit" ! Try them at home. Just pick your favorite fruit, add vanilla yogurt, a little apple juice, place ingredients in blended and then freeze pops for five hours. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Finger Painting



Josh made red hand prints.

On Tuesday, children were finger painting on a large piece of paper. Children used paintbrushes at first, then just one finger, and then their hands! They mixed colors and made hand prints. Painting with our fingers was a hands-on experience that provided the children with tactile input.

 



Julia painted her fingernails purple!

Ilan used a paintbrush
to paint a train.

Sophie mixed red and blue
paint together to make purple.

Building with Magna-Tiles

All summer we have enjoyed playing with
Magna-Tiles and toy animals! The children
had so many ideas about how to construct
 and play with these toys.

"I'm building a house for him (dog). Woof, Woof!"

Audrey: Do you wanna look inside?
Sophie: Animals! A whale and a cow!



Ilan said, "My truck doesn't work. It's
broken up. I'm building it!"

Rose said, "I have a package. A kitty!"



Even Ellen joined us to build with the Magna-Tiles!

Irresistible Treats on a Stick!

Maria stopped by the Temple yesterday to let me borrow her new book...Ice Pops. Every single recipe in the book looked simply delicious!

Jesse, the children, and I looked through the book together and decided to make smoothie ice pops. I brought in my Magic Bullet and we all went to work! We made pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberry, peach, plum and blueberry smoothie pops! Some of the children decided to write their name on their stick so tomorrow when go into the freezer to eat their pop, they will be able find the one that they made with ease!

On Thursday we will eat our smoothie pops with our Shabbat snack! I can't wait!

We made pizza today

The children helped make pizza for lunch today and it came out great! Thank you for the teamwork!

Playing with the sand

Zachary, Noah and Gabriel played at the sand box for a while today. Not always together necessarily , but they made sure they were playing in the same space together. It was interesting to see them interacting at times with one another.They played with the sand and with the sand toys and called me over when they wished to show me what they were making.
