Cooking with the Alphabet with Morah Jessica (Tuesday) Cooking with the alphabet has been so much fun! The children were able to try new foods, and create some old classics. For our final week, we ended with the letter M, and what better way to combine this enrichment with Passover than to create chocolate covered matzah! The children had a blast spreading yummy chocolate over the matzah, and of course eating it too! Overall, this enrichment was such a blast and I hope the children continue their love of cooking!
Amazing Artists with Morah Larissa (Wednesday)
This week, we studied Pablo Picasso! We began by doing a “Look and Talk” of some of Picasso’s portraits. The children looked at a series of his portraits, and they took turns raising a hand to talk about what they noticed. One thing that they began to notice is that many of the portraits looked “wrong!” There were noses next to eyes, big eyes, little eyes, and even funny mouths. We read a book about Picasso’s life and art, and learned that he liked to do art “his way.” (This phrase might sound a little familiar to those of us who spend extended time with preschoolers!) The children then used a variety of two- and three-dimensional objects to create a portrait of a face “their way.” 
Music and Movement with Moreh Micah (Thursday)
This week, we got ready for the Passover celebration, singing "Dayenu," "Mah Nishtanah (The Four Questions)," and "Take me out to the Seder." We welcomed Cindy and Shaine into the class by showing them "The Super Kids" and "A Tooty a Too." We also brought back an old favorite where each child becomes a super hero and has to get the bouncy ball from Moreh Micah. Happy Passover to everyone!
