our seder meal...


chopping up apples and walnuts for our haroset...



making our passover cookies...



it's a traditional ritual to wash hands before eating so julian and mia helped by walking around the table with a bowl of water and a hand towel.



althea reading one of the four questions...



our seder plate! we had a chicken (shank) bone, kale (our maror), haroset, parsley with salt water (karpas), a (raw!) egg, and matzo.


before our seder meal could end, the kids had to find the hidden afikomen. once it was found (by julian), i had to offer something in return in order to get it back.


i told the kids that i would give them one dollar each, or they could combine the money and donate it to charity. i'm happy to report that everyone chose to donate their dollar!

st. patrick's day experiment.



we attempted to make borax-crystaled shamrocks and learned that if you mix too much borax with hot water you will create a gelatin goo rather than crystals. we will try again.

st. patrick's day pandemonium.


seamus the friendly leprechaun stopped by and made a mess of our classroom! he put chairs on tables, toilet paper everywhere- he even turned our whipped cream green! he also left us a scavenger hunt that lead to a delicious surprise!
