This class is a relaxed classroom environment with one-to-one and small group contact. We explore art activities using a variety of materials. There is emphasis on sharing and group awareness, with a short period of time set aside for group activities (story, conversation, snack and singing). There is also a large segment of time for free play. We encourage sharing, taking turns, verbalizing feelings, and problem-solving. We do name recognition, small and large hand-eye coordination and physical activity. We observe and celebrate Jewish holidays and snack blessings.

Class time 9-11:30am

This class includes all of the above plus a 20-30 minute talk time that will deal with a variety of topics relating to the children's lives and world: With special emphasis on Jewish holidays. We have weekly themes where we learn about weather, nature, seasons, the calendar, days of the week, months, neighbourhoods, families, community helpers, and a host of other interesting topics. Field trips on Tri Met, MAX, and carpooling help us learn by our experiences. The class is a more structured, to allow those children who are interested, a chance for deeper involvement in project activities. All classes will be geared to the individual needs of each child, emphasizing a good feeling about one's self as a unique and important person both individually and as a member of a peer group. The children will gradually become aware of the importance of others through sharing and caring.
