PURIM!!!

purim is in the air! We love to hear the story of Purim. Our new vocabulary words include: King , Queen, palaces, thrones, sceptors, etc. We decorated our own palaces and we saw so many pictures of real palaces where real Kings and Queens live. What big , fancy houses Kings and Queens live in! We decorated our own purim character puppets to be able to tell you the story of Purim by ourselves:) . We learned some purim songs, and we used the king and queen outfits to dress up in our own classroom while telling over the purim story. We spoke about different emotions happy, sad, angry, shy and other descriptive words like KIND esther, MEAN Haman, WISE mordechai etc...

HAMENTASHEN!!!!

 Today we made hamentashen cookies in honor of purim! First we all had a turn to pour in the ingredients and mix them together.

Then we used our hand to roll out the dough. We used cups to make circles of dough.

After we made circles we put jelly in the middle of the circle. Then we pinched the sides to make the circle into a triangle hamentash!! Finally we put the hamentashen in the oven to bake.
