Hard to believe that the end is near! We’ve had so much fun watching your child over these past nine months grow, explore, learn, and reveal their wonderful personalities. Thank you for spending time with us at conferences and sharing a little of your day with us. It was wonderful getting to talk with you and sharing the stories and progress of your child.
We started off the month learning about our bodies and how they work. We had so much fun making our body tracings and learning to label the parts. We also talked about what went in our bodies.
Each morning we started our day with orange squeezing, enjoying a fresh glass of orange juice. We delved further into that topic by classifying fruit, vegetables, dairy, protein, etc. to learn what helps our body grow. We studied the life cycle of a green bean, then the students spent a day snapping real green beans. Once they were cleaned and boiled, we ate them! Most of the students asked for seconds. And thank you to Rowan who brought in the book Jack and The Beanstalk to read, while we feasted on green beans.
All of this got us ready for a vibrant Sports Day! We celebrated Lag B’Omer outside with tricycle races, ladle relays, jump rope, and a rousing game of duck-duck goose. It was warm so we topped the fun off with icees. Thank you to the parents who stayed and helped with this fun day and enjoying it with their child.
In Art, we went to the world of Jackson Pollack! With a large piece of butcher paper, outside the students splatter painted a mural which now decorates our wall. Since we are a family and we all got a turn being Jackson Pollack, each student will get to bring home a piece of their artwork at the end of the year.
The study of the continent of Africa has been interesting. The students have learned about the animals and culture of this special place. With our study of birds, the students have been observers of their natural habitat investigating different types of real bird nests that we’ve been fortunate to have in the classroom.
The Torah Factory was a big hit and helped us prepare for the holiday of Shavuot. They each got a quill and practiced writing their name with ink to demonstrate how a Rabbi would really create a Torah. The kids also enjoyed making their edible Mt Sinai.
We hope you and your family have a beautiful and safe summer with lots of swimming and sunshine!!!
May 1, 2012
With April showers (and we’ve had lots) come May flowers. But until then, we want to thank Isabel’s mom, Julie Epstein, for supplying our room every week with fresh flowers for our flower arranging work. The students have loved this activity and especially decorating their lunch tables with fresh flower arrangements.
This month we studied the artist, Piet Mondrian, who introduced us to many geometrical shapes and designs. We were also able to include his work in our Sensorial area by using our Pink Tower, Brown Stairs and Red Rods to make three dimensional artistic works. Then we finished up our study of Israel with the celebration of Passover - and what the Matzah Factory was! The students loved making their Haggahdas and experiencing the Model Seder. Thank you to all who came!
Then we went to Australia! The students loved the boomerang and pictures of baby Kangaroos that Morah Amanda shared with us from her recent travels to this beautiful continent. We are going to be making Rain Sticks and many maps are being traced of this island continent.
Throughout the classroom there are now many works dealing with Under the Sea. The room was quite wet this month as we explored the environment and the animals that live and thrive under the sea. Thank you to Lily Plum’s mom, Andrea Beck, for sharing a wonderful Flood Work for our science area. The students have loved exploring surface water tension and seeing the effects of too much water at one time!
Our reading and math areas have been especially busy! We have many students reading, reading, reading. The math works have been active too and many children are very interested in the learning the names of coins. They have been quite successful at giving us correct coins when asked!
In our Jewish Studies, the classes are finishing their sensorial Hebrew alphabet books.
Hebrew words and phrases are used daily in our classrooms and the children have grasped their meaning and usage. The holiday of Shavuos (giving of the Ten Commandments) is coming up. The students love counting the footprints in the hallway every time they pass them! They can also explain how every footprint means we are one day closer to this very special holiday. In addition, each classroom has their own counting system. The students love adding a flower as we count our way to the holiday. Also, in anticipation of the holiday, the students will discuss the different customs and Mitzvas of the day. Traditionally, one dairy meal is eaten and the 10 commandments are read. The children will also be creating a fun Shavuos craft.
We continue with our daily davening as well as individual attention to Hebrew letters and language. Shabbos party is always a welcome end to our week together and the students look forward to making their challah, singing songs, and having their special treat.
Short month means a short newsletter. We are looking forward to all the fun activities that we have coming towards the end of the year! Please keep eye on your calendar as we have a busy end of the school planned!
Happy Spring!
April 2, 2012
This March has been full of welcoming spring including butterflies, flowers, and frogs in our Daled classroom. As we finished our unit on South America, we studied the life-cycle of a frog and aspects of the rainforest. We then moved to studying the life-cycle of the butterfly: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and the adult butterfly. In our classroom we grew five butterflies starting with their eggs! The children were lucky enough to see them go into the chrysalis stage, and we had one emerge as a butterfly while we were down the hallway making Matzoh! We had a mini celebration as we set all five butterflies free.
In other areas of the room, we moved on to Israel. We made flags and discussed questions posed from the children about life in Israel. Rachel's grandmother was in town from Israel and was kind enough answer all the student's questions.
In practical life, we introduced a new sewing project, Bookmark making. All of our readers were encouraged to create lovely bookmarks to take home and use. We also enjoyed planting chives with Alana LaBella. Thanks Alana! With the nice weather we opened our door and put some of our painting works outside. What a surprise how many new painters emerged with the opportunity to paint in sunshine and fresh air! Thanks to our study of Seurat we had many a-dotted playground landscapes.
As our classroom was preparing a birdhouse for painting, lots of sanding with sandpaper has been taking place. They are practicing their fine motor skills and strengthening their hands with the sanding work. They enjoyed it so much that we brought in wood objects for each child to sand and then paint and take home.
Our globe-trotters will be creating models of the globe as we finish our study of all the continents. This gives them very concrete knowledge of our world, and even more fun, is something to bring home and hang in their room.
With the arrival of Passover, Morah Hilary has been teaching the important elements of Pesach right now to cleaning our room and getting ready for this important holiday. If you have stepped into the tumbling room you may have witnessed their Haggadah making in progress, or as Nathan just explained to room, the story of Passover.
Happy Pesach and welcome to April. Thank you to Isabel's mom for cut flowers! We can use more throughout the entire spring as the children really love arranging real flowers. Thank you to our Reading Moms, Allison Schneider and Irene Garrett.
Both Gimmel and Daled classes have been busy getting ready for Pesach (Passover) which begins Friday evening, April 6. During circle time each day, we have been reading stories and singing songs about the Pesach story. We have reviewed the six items on the seder plate, the ten plagues, the burning bush, and the story of Moshe (Moses) from the time he was a baby in a basket until he grew up to be the leader of the Israelites out of Egypt. The children had a ball searching for the afikomen!The classes loved having the wooden seder set in our classroom and have enjoyed all the atching works with the various Pesach symbols in the language area. The country Israel has been a focus in the geography area with a flag –making work, a puzzle, and a book all available for the children to use. Frogs have been a focus in our science area due to their significance as one of the ten plagues. Making our haggadot for Pesach has been ongoing for the past few weeks. Each child has created their own haggadah to use at their seder. The children have enjoyed working on each and every page and have looked forward to seeing their finished creations! We wish you and your families a Zissen Pesach!

Even though we had an extra day in February it went so very quickly! We covered a lot of ground this month. You may have been hearing an awful lot about toast lately. We introduced toast at the beginning of month and we are now masters of the craft. We soon will be moving on to "ants on a log" which actually is celery, peanut butter and raisins in a row. We think this will be a big hit with the children. Also in the area of Practical Life, the children have become quite skilled in sewing. We had some very enthusiastic button sewers as they practice the fine motors movements of threading a needle and going in and out of the fabric to secure a button. This work is an excellent preparation for handwriting as it strengthen the students hand and requires perseverance and concentration. Both boys and girls found this work inviting! We also shared love bugs with our friends in the classroom this month, so if these little pom pom critters came home you know you are loved!
In the Art area, the students investigated the art of Henri Matisse and Vincent van Gogh. If you stop by our classroom you will see some evidence of their artistic understanding. Ask your child if they have taken the time to make a self-portrait with oil pastels as we continue to study van Gogh. In Science, we thoroughly investigated the characteristics of ice. An exciting demonstration with dry ice gave the students the opportunity to see dry ice in action. What a foggy classroom we had! With a very popular ice melting game, the students explored the properties of ice and melting, experimenting and hypothesizing on what makes ice melt the fastest. We also saw how hot and cold effected a thermometer. This went very well with our theme of study on Antarctica. We learned that an Emperor Penguin can be as tall as 4 feet. Is your student taller than an Emperor Penguin? Ask them, they probably know. We had lots of fun with our Biodome exploring animals and habitats in Antarctica. Many of our older students are excited to begin our work on making continent maps. This will be a work in progress that will be finished in the next three months.
Other fun works that have appeared in our classroom include our Yoga corner outfitted with a mirror, a mat and some interesting yoga pose ideas. Some students are asking for a whole book of poses! We also have begun some new ways of creating stories. Our writing area has taken off with creativity and discovery of elements of great stories. You may have seen great works from your own little authors coming home. In math we have many works that are used regularly including the dice game that Allison Schneider kindly donated to our classroom. Students can roll the dice, count the numbers and identify the numerals that match. They love that it is a two-person work, social and learning all in one - what a perfect match!
We have many activities coming up in this next month of March. We are hoping that since March came in like a lamb it will also go OUT like a lamb! In the hopes of much sunshine, we will be talking a lot about flowers. We will study the parts of a flower, we are currently watching some parsley grow (thank you so much to Alana for making this happen for us!) and we are going to start doing flower arranging in our Practical Life area. We will also begin studying South America and the Rainforest. Our next artist is going to be Monet so we will be doing some beautiful impressionistic art!
While we are able to pull so many things together for the classroom ourselves, there are often items that we could use some help with! A few things that we will be needing are flowers, flowers, flowers. We hope that every week we can have 1 or 2 bunches of cut flowers for flower arranging. Also, we need cleaned off paper towel rolls. We could also use some pretty, floral fabric cut into squares about 6 inches in size for a new sewing activity. We are working to keep our carpets clean and our children healthy, so please start sending in slippers for children. We want them to leave their outside shoes in the hallway and wear slippers in the classroom. Every small attempt keeps our room cleaner and healthier. Our readers in the room are blooming. Please help them practice reading everyday so their excitement does not go away. If you have extra time and could donate about 1/2 hour to listen to readers here at school, please let one of our room moms, Julie and Jackie, know your availability. We would greatly appreciate it!
Purim is approaching quickly at Chai Tots! The children have really gotten into the spirit of
celebration of such a joyous holiday! Over the last two weeks, the Gimmel and Daled classes
have been making their own Graggers, and creating their own Purim character puppets to be
able to tell the story to you at home. They have been enjoying the retelling of the story of how
Queen Esther of Persia saved her people from the evil Haman. They have all enjoyed making
their Hamentaschen – a three cornered pastry with a sweet filling in the middle.
Tomorrow will be a wonderful carnival! First we will start with a Megillah
reading that retells the Purim story. Come with your kids and shake a Gragger when you hear
evil Haman’s name read aloud! After the reading, there will be games, prizes, food, and a
costume parade. We hope to see you all there!
Have a wonderful March!

February is going to be a very busy month in the Daled classroom. Our class will begin studying trees this week to get ready for Tu B’Shevat, the birthday of trees, on February 8. Morah Hilary has been very busy planning many wonderful activities for the students. We are still investigating the North American continent completing our study with the U.S.A and Mexico and all landforms found on our continent.
Our field trip to the planetarium was wonderful! The students learned so much about the many constellations, the sun, and the moon. They also had a great time riding the bus. Our presenter was amazed at the wonderful behavior and knowledge that our students displayed.
Peanut butter crackers were a huge hit for our most recent food preparation exercise. Our students are not only preparing the snack, but also serving the snack to each other while fine tuning their grace and courtesy skills. This week we will be introducing cucumber slicing! Our food preparation choices will focus on healthy foods.
Matisse is our artist of the month. We once again will be introducing all the artistic media that this artist used. Please dress for paint and glue experimenting!
Our readers have started to bring their books home to share. Please encourage your child to read to anyone they want and return the book to school the following day. Thank you to all our reading & listening parent volunteers. Your time and skills have been very helpful in keeping everyone reading every day. Our class will also begin our handwriting program this week.
Please check our school’s lunch guidelines found in the handbook. Lunches need to be both healthy and kosher. Please do not send candy in your child’s lunch.
Thank you volunteers! We greatly appreciate your time, both at home and at school.
Items that we need in the classroom this month:
Shoe boxes, baby food jars, toilet paper rolls, and water bottles.
Have a great month!
January 9, 2012
Welcome Back! It is hard to believe that January is already upon us and the New Year has begun. We have many changes in our classroom.
The first few days back led to lots of exploring around our classroom and discovering old and new works. This month we will be learning about the Solar System, starting with planet Earth. We also began our study of the continents and land forms. We are concentrating on the North American continent first. You will begin to see a few Canadian flags coming home.
We are also discovering our culinary skills with food preparation works. This week and next will be banana cutting. Students are learning to slice a banana, share the slices with friends, while using their grace and courtesy skills of saying “please and thank you”. Bananas have been a big hit!
This month we will also begin the study of the artist Jackson Pollack. We have many great art experiments to try. Remember, dress for paint fun!
We also go outside as often as weather permits. Please send in mittens and hats labeled with your child’s name so we all stay toasty.
I (Karen) have truly enjoyed getting to know your child. It was a very busy few days. Please stop into the class to introduce yourself and see the new work space.
Thank you to all our volunteers. Your help, time, and energy is greatly appreciated.
December 2, 2011
It is hard to believe, but December is already upon us! We hope that you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family. Our students had a lot of fun learning about the history of our country, including Native Americans and Pilgrims, the foods that were eaten at the first Thanksgiving, and the homes that people lived in during those times. This tied in well to our study of architecture, which we will be continuing throughout the month of December.
We have books on designing and building skyscrapers, blocks and materials for the children to create their own structures, pictures of various types of bridges and buildings, and recycled materials for the students to build their own skyscrapers this month.
Of course, the children are currently most excited about the upcoming holiday of Chanukah! We have begun to read stories about the history and meaning of the holiday, and our classroom is quickly filling with activities revolving around Chanukah, and all of the special traditions that come with it. They are able to set up and pretend to light a Menorah on their own, we will press olives to create olive oil, there are dreidels for counting, spinning, and matching and playing. We will also have donuts for matching and even, eventually, tasting. It promises to be a fun month ahead, and we look forward to sharing this special time of the year with your child and your family.
We want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the Parent Education Night and Teacher Conferences. We feel that the most important part of our job is partnering with you, as parents, to best meet the educational, social, and emotional needs of your child. Getting to spend time with you discussing your child, the basic philosophy of our school, and questions or concerns that you might have, is always incredibly helpful. So, thank you!
Just a couple of quick reminders…
1. It is getting to be very cold outside! Please make sure to send a warm coat to school with your child each day. Also, make sure that you have a hat and gloves and a weather appropriate change of clothes available for your child here at school.
2. Wednesday, December 7, is the day to view and purchase your child’s photos. This year, we had a great photographer who went the extra mile to get happy smiles and great shots of all of the students. We are hoping that you will be very pleased!
3. By lunch time, students have been hard at work and play all morning. It is very important that your child has a nutritional, filling lunch. Please try to represent a variety of food groups, and provide food that will help them feel energized for the rest of the day!If you need some suggestions, feel free to ask any of the teachers. Thank you!
As always, thank you for sharing your amazing little one with us, each day! We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with them and you!
Happy Chanukah!
November 1, 2011
It is hard to believe that we are already entering the month of November! This school year seems to be flying by. The children are easily settling back into their routines, after enjoying the holidays with family, and we are looking forward to a fun-filled and busy month ahead! During the month of November, we have many important and exciting events to prepare for.
In the classroom this month, our learning will be focused transportation and architecture, United States history, and the holiday of Thanksgiving. Within our transportation studies, we will look at a timeline of different methods of transportation over the years, learn about various types of trains, learn the names and uses of many vehicles, and discuss the methods of transportation that would be ideal for certain trips and travels. While exploring architecture, we will examine the ways that buildings, particularly homes, have changed over the years and differ throughout the world. The children will be encouraged to recreate pictures of buildings and bridges with blocks, and we will even design and build our own structures with recycled materials. This is sure to be a fun project for the children! As we learn about the holiday of Thanksgiving, we will learn about the history of the United States, and what life was like during the time of the first Thanksgiving. We will compare the Pilgrims and Native Americans, learning all about their differing lifestyles. The children will get the chance to create their own Native American nicknames, write stories using symbols instead of letters, and decorate head-dresses. And don't forget the Thanksgiving feast! We will help the children to create their own pumpkin pie recipes, and our class will be working together to create a special dish for our Thanksgiving lunch.
Top that off with a couple of music classes with Ms. Joni, some special fall themed works like hammering golf tees into pumpins, scrubbing a squash, and tweezing kernels off of Indian corn, and examining the changing weather, and we have a month jam-packed with fun and learning to look forward to!
Just a couple of quick reminders...
1. The weather is quickly becoming much colder. *Please make sure to send a warm change of clothes for your child, if you have not already. It seems that many children still have shorts and sundresses in the extra clothes bin. Also, please bring a hat and gloves that can be kept at school. This will help us to ensure your child is warm enough on the playground each day. And, of course, don't forget to dress your child in a warm coat. While the trip from the car to the school building may be quick, our time on the playground is not. The children need warm clothing to be comfortable and enjoy their time outside!
2. Please make every effort to drop your child off by 9 am. Not only do late arrivals disrupt the group activities in the classroom, but they also make for an awkward start to the day for children walking into the group late. Thank you so much in advance!
We look forward to another month of fun and learning! Thank you, as always, for sharing your precious little people with us!
September 28, 2011
Hello, parents!
Our first month of school has been a busy one! The children have had so much fun building new friendships, discovering their favorite areas of the classroom, and preparing for the quickly-approaching holiday of Rosh Hashanah. It is amazing to see how much they have all grown and developed already in this short period of time. We are seeing new signs daily of their increased independence, growing comfort in the classroom and routines, and progression of skills. We are so thankful to get to spend each day witnessing the amazing work of these hard-working, loving little people.
Among the highlights of this month are our educational, hands-on visit from the Shofar factory, visits from Rabbi Kalmanson, in which we learned all about the significance of the shofar in the celebration of Rosh Hashana, and fun-filled trip to the A&M Apple Farm. A big thank you to all of the parents who joined us on our trip! Your help played a huge part in making the trip a success!
Shana Tova! We hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families! Our class will continue to learn all about the high holidays with Yom Kippur right around the corner. This week we will be learning about forgiveness and making good choices. We will also introduce a scale in the science area to begin learning about weights and measuring. We will also be using the scale as a concrete representation of weighing our good deeds verses bad.
This month we are focusing on the festive holiday of Sukkot. We are learning about the history of Sukkot and about the travels of the Jews in the desert. We are learning what it takes to build a Sukkah, and will even build our own edible one. Four special species are used on Sukkot, the Etrog - a citrus fruit, a Lulav – a palm branch, Aravot - willows and Hadassim - myrtle. In art, we will make a Lulav and an Etrog just like those on our Chag (holiday) shelf.
In the classroom, the children have continued to familiarize themselves with the Montessori materials, as well as learn about bees and apples. Some of the most popular activities this month have been Table Scrubbing, the 100 Board, the Moveable Alphabet, Bee Nomenclature Cards, Card Making, Bee Counting, Apple Graphing, and Memory Match. Please look for an email from us during the week ahead detailing your child’s specific interests and activities. As we mentioned in the first email, these will go out on a bi-weekly basis, in order to keep you up-to-date on your child’s daily activities. If you should happen to have a question or concern at any time, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone call!
In the month ahead, we will be focusing on Farms. We will explore animals and crops commonly found on farms, look at the work a farmer does, and discuss different types of farms. We have a lot of fun activities planned, and are excited to start this unit of learning with the children. It seems to be a favorite topic each year!
Just a few quick reminders…
- The weather has quickly taken a turn for the cooler. Please make sure that your child has a weather-appropriate change of clothes at school to change into, if needed. Also be sure to bring a jacket for your child on chilly days. While it may not seem necessary for the short trip from car to school, it is important to have for our time out on the playground. With the exception of rainy days, we go outside EVERY DAY!
- In order to help your child bring home the work they do at school, any important paperwork, and other personal items, it is important that each child bring a backpack to school every day.
- Our morning meeting starts at 9am each morning. Missing the start of this whole group activity, or entering in the middle of the discussion, can be an awkward start to your child’s day. Please make every effort to arrive by 9am each day.
We are excited to have gotten this year off to such a wonderful start, and we look forward to working with you and your children in the month ahead!
Wishing you a very happy new year!
August 29, 2011
Things are off to a fantastic start in the Daled classroom! We were surprised and very pleased with how quickly the students seem to become familiar with the classroom and routines. It has been so much fun watching them explore all that the environment has to offer, and build new friendships.
This month we will be learning a lot about bees, honey and apples, as we prepare to celebrate the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. This will include tasting different varieties of apples, learning about the life cycle of an apple tree, finding out how bees work together to make honey, and even a visit to an apple farm! The bee man will be coming, as well as the Shofar factory.
Beginning Monday, August 29, we will have a Star of the Day each morning. The daily “star” will get the opportunity to share a little bit about themselves with the group, including the family pictures that you provided, a favorite item from home, and activities that they enjoy. A note will be sent home in advance, informing you of your child’s special day. He or she may choose to bring in a special item from home, such as a favorite book or a special toy or blanket, to share along with their pictures. This will be a fun way for the children to get to know each other better, and we look forward to hearing all about what is important to them!
This month, our curriculum will also include the theme “All About Me.” Students will be encouraged to examine themselves and determine what makes them unique and special, from the inside out. We will read the books The Colors of Me and The Way I Feel, paint self-portraits, talk about feelings, learn about different types of families, find out about our location in the world, and much, much more. This should be an exciting journey of self-discovery for each student, perfect for building self-confidence and learning about one another, as we form our classroom community.
It promises to be a busy, fun-filled month in the Daled classroom!
