October 20, 2022 was #GlobalMakerDay and the Senior Kindergarten kids certainly rose to the challenge!!
After celebrating Simchat Torah earlier this week, the kids were tasked with making their own torahs out of recycled materials. They painted their own torah covers, rolled them onto their “scrolls” and added straws for the handles. We are so excited to start the Torah over again this Shabbat and hear the first of many Parashat Hashavuah tomorrow!!
After listening to a Virtual Storytime with Miss Brigitte, who read “Be a Maker” by Katey Howes, we introduced 3 different Maker Day challenges that the kids could choose between: creating a dinosaur (or other creature), building a bridge, or constructing a tower. Using all of the recycled materials that we’ve been collecting (we nearly covered the entire carpet with stuff!!!), each child completed the challenge and they were super proud of what they accomplished. The innovation and imagination in our classroom was astounding!!! Make sure to ask your child about their creation!
