Pajama Day!

 We had so much comfy fun today! We started our day with some watercolor paint as requested by one of our Katon kiddos. 







Then, we read this book:


We decided to see what our boxes could be, and came up with many things of our own. Our boxes became a garage,


an animal cave,



a lesson in spatial awareness,



and a fun game with the bean bags!


"Yay! Two points!"








One of our boxes broke, so it became a ramp for the cars...

...and a new surface for the children to paint at the easel!





We also made some color explosions with baking soda, vinegar, and liquid watercolors. The children giggled as the vinegar made colorful bubbles in the cups. This kept them occupied for quite a while as they made observations about what colors we could see and what happened when we mixed the colors!













We took the pajama fun outside to the playground where the children explored for almost an entire hour. They were so happy to be outside! We even took the guitar outside so we could sing our Pesach songs!

What a Year!

 What a year it has been! The children in Katon started out as "Covid babies."  They had grown up mostly around their families and...
