In שׁוֹרָשִׁים (Shorashim– ‘roots’ for nursery) and שְׁתִּילִים (Shteelim– ‘saplings’ for kindergarten), we have opened up the second category of our theme, לְהִתְפַּלֵל (L’hitpalel). We are considering the following question: what feeling do I feel when I try this way לְהִתְפַּלֵל (L’hitpalel)? Sometimes the answer to that question is a mark (mark making), or a word and sometimes the answer is actually a different question, what does my face or body do when I try this way לְהִתְפַּלֵל (L’hitpalel)?
This is what happened when we did תפילה (tefila), meditation:
Here are some of the words that children used to describe what they felt when they did this kind of תפילה (tefila), meditation:
Quiet
Peaceful
Kind of tired
Nice
Good
I wonder what new feelings we might feel as we continue to explore during our theme!
