Darkaynu Mid-Winter Update

Welcome back to Darkaynu! After a relaxing winter break we’re back into our Darkaynu routine of Alef-Bet Yoga, Hebrew vocabulary sensory stations, and concept strengthening gross and fine motor activities. This year’s Darkaynu curriculum focuses on the blessings said on different foods. We recently completed a unit on Ha’eytz, the blessing on fruit from trees- just in time for Tu BiShvat! We’re looking forward to reviewing the blessings of Ha’adama and Mezonot, and to incorporating blessings into our Purim and Pesach units this year. As always, our students continue to enjoy many multi- sensory activities to encourage comprehension and retention. It’s great to hear everyone say the blessing on their snacks loudly and clearly each Sunday!
