Planting!!!


We planted sunflower seeds! A seed needs sunlight and water to grow, so dont forget to place your flower pot in a place where it will receice plenty of sunlight,
and dont forget to water it!
After the flower sprouts it will need to be placed into a bigger flower pot.
Enjoy!

Corn Salad!




For borei pri huadama, we made corn salad!
First we mixed the corn, pickles, and dressing
( mayo, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar, garlic)
then we ate it for snack!
And in the words of Aliza Sebban it was
"deeee-li-shis!"

Tell Me How to Plant a Tree


While learning the brachos of haetz and huadama, we also learned a lot about planting.
We read a book about a farmer planting a wheat stalk,
and we learned a special song about planting.
It goes like this:
(TTTO Row Your Boat)
Tell Tell Tell me how
how to plant a tree
merrily merrily merrily merrily
what's the recipe
dig dig dig a hole
with a spade and hoe
merrily merrily merrily merrily
singing as you go
plant plant plant your seeds
plant them in a row
merrily merrily merrily merrily
Hashem will make them grow
rain rain rain will fall
softly from above
merrily merrily merrily merrily
softly as a dove
sun sun sun will shine
on your little tree
merrily merrily merrily merrily
that's the recipe!

Welcome Aliza Sebban!

We Love You!

We also sponge painted trees. We made a brown trunk, green leaves, and orange and red fruit!

The fruit skewers were so much fun! We placed green and red apples, oranges and grapes and made haetz skewers!

Play-Do!


Today we made our very own play-do!
Here is how you do it:
1 cup cold water
1 cup salt
2 tsp. vegetable oil
paint or food coloring
3 cups flour
2 tbsp corn starch
Mix first four ingredients, then gradually add flour and cornstarch.
We chose two colors of paint ,
yellow and blue.
When we mixed them together we got green play-do!
This is how our song goes:
(ttto:Uncle Moishy's manners song)
When you mix blue and yellow
you get green!

Refuah Shleima Henny! We missed you! We hope you feel better real soon!
