About two weeks ago we invited the families for the ever popular PJ Havdalah program that we offer several times throughout the year. On this particular night we acted out the story Bim and Bam: A Shabbat Tale by Daniel J. Swartz. In the story the baker puts up a sign on the door that reads "Closed for Shabbat." Several days after the PJ Havdalah event, one of the children in Kitah Cachol(one of our four-year-old classrooms), was busy creating a store in the dramatic play area. For his very first inventive spelling attempt he wrote (see photo) "Closed for Shabbat". His teacher ran into my office and said "quick you have to come see this and put it on the blog!" Such a powerful lesson for all of us - this little boy had listened to the story almost two weeks prior and he was still making connections!
