Hello Alef Families,
This week in our infant class we’ve been preparing for Rosh Hashanah with lots of apple and bee fun! The babies explored red and yellow in so many different ways. We stamped apples wrapped in bubble wrap to make bright prints, and they loved watching the colors show up on the paper. We also used ziplock bags filled with paint so the little ones could squish, pat, and push the colors around with their hands without getting messy.
The apples themselves were a big hit, too. We rolled them across the floor and on trays of water, which made them spin, splash, and wobble around. Some babies were all about the splashing, while others preferred just holding and feeling the apples. We even painted by dipping the apples into paint and stamping them to see the fun shapes they made.
Our apple and bee theme carried into music time, too! We sang silly songs, buzzed like bees, and bounced along together. The babies loved hearing the familiar words and rhythms while moving their bodies to the music.
As always, it is a joy to watch each child engage in their own way. Every day brings new milestones and discoveries, and we’re so proud of all the growth we see!
