The Zebra room has been busy exploring apples. We have made homemade applesauce, which the children loved tasting after we cooked it! We also added apples and honey to our Challah dough. The children enjoyed being included in the process of coring the apples. Each child was able to turn the crank on the corer and spin the apple and watch the skin come off. They were equally excited that we got to feed the scraps that we didn’t use for our challah and our applesauce to the animals outside.
Along with exploring apples Pertez has also been blowing the Shofar in the hallway, our children have enjoyed this as well. Pertez was kind enough to bring his Shofar into the Zebra room and allowed our children to explore how it felt and how it sounded up close. The children have been creating their own Shofars out of items they have found in the room, they have enjoyed blowing them and hearing the different noises that they can create.
For another large group we decorated some clear contact paper with die cut apples, and Shofars. We talked about the different color apples and about the Shofar and the sounds it makes. You can see our creation on display on our window.
) in addition to the paper we also painted the table, and our bodies…but we had FUN! Instead of cleaning up we went outside and got even more messy playing in MUD!!! We jumped, splashed and even rolled in the mud….Some friends were a little cautious of the mud and preferred the sprinkler instead, regardless we had all kinds of fun today!
