This week we had an especially musical day, with a special program: Traveling the Yiddishland with Dmitri Slepovitch. Children were invited to gather and learn about Yiddishkayt and popular Yiddish songs, performed by ethnomusicologist and acclaimed Klezmer musician, Dmitri "Zisl" Slepovitch. There was singing, dancing, and we even learned a bit of Yiddish. Little did we know, we already know and use Yiddish in our everyday life! Did you know 'Bagel' is actually a Yiddish word? Later we had a visit from Paul, as we continue to get ready for next week's Chanukah party (get ready for quite the concert!).
We also continued to explore Hebrew letters as we also got up and moved our body in this fun interactive letter hunt! Beginning together, we overlooked several Hebrew letters built out of blocks and waited for various letters to be called.
After a letter was called, we raced to find the matching block letters (without pushing of course!)
Once a letter was found, we sat as a team around the letter we had found. This was not only a fun way to learn our Hebrew letters, but it was a great way to get our bodies involved!
