The Kitah Alef children are really interested in books. They ask their Morahs to read some of the same ones over, and over again.

As a class, Kitah Gimmel decided to create a giant bug to feature for Siyum night. Their interests in bugs and cardboard lead to this provocation.

The children have been creating masks out of cardboard the entire year. They love dramatic play and are constantly playing family and hospital. Recently the children were also introduced to sewing.

This year the Kitah Bet children have been exploring various art mediums through experiences that engage their gross motor skills. They are building muscle while making art.

The Kitah Alef children enjoy listening to stories. There are some books that they request for their Morah’s to read daily.

The children really enjoy both building and bugs. These interests inspired this provocation.

The children continue their exploration of clay. They were each given a ball of clay to flatten with rolling pins.

The children have been weaving and sewing. We wanted to continue that thread of interest into their Passover art.

This year the Kitah Gimmel children have created a lot of collage-type artwork. They also have a strong interest in nature. These interests led to the creation of their Mosaic Mirror for the auction. 

Since the children in Kitah Daled enjoy building and sculpture, we decided to make wood block wall art for their auction piece.

The Kitah Bet-1 children have been exploring paint and movement this year. Honoring these interests, the children were offered a large canvas on which to create a drip painting.

For Purim, the children of Kitah Alef created graggers. During art, the children were each given a wooden ring to paint with dot markers.
