We are just completing Sukkot, and had a few art projects connected to that wonderful Jewish holiday. Hebrew Through Movement and Music with Maya are being met with smiling faces and big voices/ movement-- a great start to a cohesive JQuest year! We shook the lulav and etrog and danced!
I showed the Omanut class a few different websites this week to encourage their creativity and meet the multiple learning modalities of all students... some were musically focused (like the g-dcast.com video about Sukkot) while others just opened their eyes to the different designs that a sukkah could be! Don't be surprised if your son or daughter want more of a voice in constructing your family sukkah next year! :) We worked on painting water colors on canvas and multi media designs with tissue paper and other papers to decorate your personal sukkah or the classroom; some of your children may have brought their creations home already.
Here are some websites that we visited; the sukkah design competitions are amazing!

Thank you, here's to another great week!
