Hello Havurah first grade families!
We had a simply SMASHING week! To come together, we started
with drawing. We were so happy to see some of the kids keeping with our themes
of symbols and superheroes. Molly was focused on perfecting her batman symbol
while Sofia told me all about how the sun represents light and happiness.
Charlie drew the most wonderful superman cape, as if he knew our class activity
ahead of time.
We then made shabbat and went right into creating our own
capes to transform us into heroes. The capes used diluted dye and eye droppers
to create a tye-die effect.
It was fascinating to see how each cape came out so
differently.
-Oliver dyed his entire cape blue (a truly minimalist
mastermind)
-Jacob took an interesting approach of rapidly standing up
and sitting down during his masterpiece (a future Picasso?)
- Becca was incredibly focused, making a precise polka dot
effect
-Sofia tried absolutely every technique on her cape,
including using her hands to flick the dye on the fabric
-When the purple dye was knocked over (even superheroes
cause accidents!), Hannah used her cape to wipe up the spill and dye her
cape.
All of the capes look incredible and we can't wait to show
you, once our values patches are attached!
Next, Hillary taught us how to make potato latkes and read a
story book to us about Hannukah. Did you know that dreidels were used to fool the Greeks?
After eating our latkes, we went to the always fun music
time with the other first grade class.
