It is our awesome and fun holiday of Sukkot and we have been designing our "dream sukkah" -- sketches and color designs have been completed and tomorrow we will work on our final watercolor paintings based on the designs that are already done.
Your child should definitely be able to tell you what Sukkot means, and all about some fantastic short videos we have seen during class that served as inspiration. Aside from talking about the holidays, we also delved into what the sukkah needs to consist of and why - Some questions to consider in your conversation...
Why do we need to be able to see the stars through the roof of the sukkah?
Why can't there be a permanent sukkah all year long?
Here are links to some wonderful videos:
We have been grooving with songleader Ben during Music and learning more Hebrew with Tammy, Yardena and Siena. Last week we also had Yoga with Kendra, which is always very peaceful as well as fun!
Until next time,
Heather
