This week the Kitah Bet-1 children were presented with an outdoor painting activity. This experience combined the children’s interest in paint and their love of movement.

Kitah Bet’s most recent Atelier experience combines two of their interests, paint and tape. The children were each given a half sheet of watercolor paper and pieces of masking tape.

During the weeks leading up to Chanukah, Kitah Daled and Kitah Gimmel Enrichment children were offered clay. Morah Jessica first gave the children small balls of Crayola Air Dry Clay.

To support the children’s interests in both painting and cars, Morah Jessica offered the children an outdoor experience which included both.

During the Fall, the Kitah Gimmel children noticed that the fig tree outside of their classroom was losing its leaves.
