LIteracy Month

This week we welcomed Nosson's mom in our class. She came to read one of Nosson's favorite books. Nosson bought "Sara finds a mitzva" a book in our Book Fair and instantly it became one of his favorites.In the story,when Sara finds a little toy duck forgotten by someone on top of a mailbox, she and her grandmother start a search for the owner that takes them from place to place. The Torah teaches that we should make every effort to return lost items to their owners. This mitzvah, Hashavas Aveida, is one that Pre-K friends can appreciate.  

Emy's mom came to read Emy's favorite book " My Very Own Name". The story tells about how animals participated in naming a newborn owl. Each of the animal brought a letter to make a name. An elephant brought the letter  E, a moose brought the letter M, an alligator brought the A and so on. When all letters were collected the little owl was named, and the name was Emanuel Khodorkovsky.  It was fun to read this book, to see familiar letters and learn about animals.
