Tu B’Shevat is coming, and we are getting ready! For the birthday of the trees, which this year falls on Sunday, February 9, and Monday, February 10, we are celebrating everything about trees!

Children in Nitzanim (“buds” for 1st-2nd grades) played a variation of the game known as Wax Museum or Sculpture Garden. They pretended to be trees, while each child had a turn to walk through the forest. If the walker saw any trees moving, the tree was out of that round! The children enjoyed trying to sneak up on each other. Ask your child to demonstrate.


On Tuesday some children in other groups joined us for this game. It was so much fun!


Stay tuned for more Tu B’Shevat news as the holiday draws closer!
