N and Tu B'Shvat/Health/Food

Tu B’Shvat

What a fun-filled day we had starting this week, happy birthday dear trees! Singing Tu B’Shvat songs, making fruit kabobs, decorating crowns and creating a school tree were all a lot of fun! And let’s not forget the special school gathering sing-along!

Health and Food

Last week we discussed the fruits and vegetables groups of the food diagram, this week we learned about the protein and grains. Protein comes in different forms mainly from animals; grains comes from the farm too, from wheat stalks that are then ground into flour. We read a book called How Did That Get In My Lunchbox? (by Chris Butterworth), telling us where all the different foods from our lunch box come from!

N is for Nest

There are many different animals in this world. They all have different homes to live in. The bird is no exception. Their home is called a nest. They don’t live there all the time. It is a home for their eggs. During the spring time birds create nests. They use tools that are around. Birds from the jungle will use branches, twigs, leaves, and mud. Birds from the city will use what they can, for example twigs and shoelaces! All birds have beaks and feathers. Not all birds can fly. The ostrich is too big to fly and also lays very big eggs, it’s size is bigger than a Morah’s hand. The babies hatch from their eggs and the Mom stays and watches them. The Dad gets them food. The birds are born without feathers and after a few weeks the birds have feathers and are ready to explore the world around them. We created nests and like the birds from the city, we used what was around from the kitchen (cereal, marshmallow fluff and mini marshmallows) it was a delicious nest treat!
