Our Hagaddah is finished. All the pinching, gluing, painting, and spreading is done. It is really beautiful and the yeladim love going through it and turning the pages to see what comes next!
We explored Romaine lettuce. The yeladim know that some people use it for Marror. They felt it, smelled it and some even tasted it. They agreed that it really was not that bitter or spicy AND it did not taste like much. Out of the mouth of babes!
We revisited our Matza holder.The yeladim love putting on different fabrics and textures to complete their special project. Wait until they bring it home!
We actually did something so amazing in class. A real Matza was put in out on the table for observation. We discussed how Hashem parted the Yam Suf, so the Yehudim could walk through it. We took salt and colored it with blue food coloring. So we asked “Where did the water go in order for the Yehudim to cross the Yam Suf?”
“On the sides!” They yelled
“So put the water on the sides!”
They put glue on both sides and then spread the blue salt (water) on the sides of the matza. Then they spread glue in the middle and spread sand. It looks so cute and is hanging on the wall in our ART GALLERY! To top it off we added foam fish to the “water” as well. Nothing like Pesach art! Two weeks to go!
