Nursery Class 2015-2016: M and Health and Food

Health and Nutrition

There are so many different foods in this world, but which foods are healthy for our bodies? What foods help our bodies grow into big boys and girls?
Morah explained that there are five different categories of foods. , and we eat different amounts from each food group. This week we learned all about fruits and vegetables.
In Hebrew tree is ‘etz’ and earth is ‘adama’. When making a blessing on our fruits and veggies we use those words in the bracha!
We decorated our ‘Health Book’ pages with fruit and vegetable cut outs and tracers.

Tu B’Shvat

Next Monday is a special birthday and the whole school will be celebrating.

Whose birthday is it? The trees! We learned that just like the trees start small and grow strong with branches and leaves , the same is true with people
. We grow and learn to do good deeds and be kind and strong.

M is for Music

This week we explored the world of music for the letter M. First we looked at a book from our library and Morah asked the friends how she is able to read. "Because of the a,b,c letters!" the Nursery friends all shouted out. Morah then pulled out a sheet of music and asked the friends if they could read it. The notes did not look like any a,b,c or alef, bet letters. The letters are called musical notes. Musicians use the notes to help them play their instruments. We each had a turn taking a different instrument from the music bucket and played along with a song from the ipod. It was fun trying to stay on beat with the song!
