Today we showed appreciation to our teachers for Teacher appreciation week! We gave out a cup of fruit, a muffin, and a bottle of Snapple to keep them full throughout the day! Below is the poem we attached to our gift:

Teachers are like a Snapple, wise and smart,
Always willing to help and play their part.
Or like a muffin, comforting and sweet,
They guide us through challenges and help us compete.
With knowledge and care, they help us bear fruit,
Making our futures brighter, resolute. #teacherappreciationweek #teacherappreciationday #weloveourteachers @gural_jcc

With Morah Kayli’s music museum, the children explored different sounds using every day household items such as pool noodles, spoons, flip flops, scrub brushes and many more! They banged, scratched and clanked their way through the musical centers and discovered a love and appreciation for music! #musicappreciation #musicmuseum #onlyatjcc #morahkayli #notyourtypicalmusic @gural_jcc

Today we had so much fun at our Yam Suf experience! We enjoyed sensory activities which included separating the sea (blue water beads), building a walkway through blue sand with blocks for the Jews to walk through, and fishing! We had a blast running, jumping and crawling through the walls of the split sea. #yamsuf #movement #obstaclecourse #sensory #sensoryplay @gural_jcc

Election Day at JCC! Our 4s took a vote on a special snack- either pretzels or pringles. Each child filled out a ballot privately and slipped it into a box. After some time the votes were counted and pringles won! The children learned how to vote and why we vote. 🗳️
