In addition to the wonderful sounds of children learning, singing, laughing and playing, there were new sounds at Yavneh this week—the sounds of animals! The ECD children were treated to a visit from Animal Interactions. The hands-on experience allowed the children to explore their senses as they touched, fed and observed the animals. The children had an incredible time interacting with the animals and learning about their care and habitats. It was wonderful to see their excitement and curiosity come to life!

In the days leading up to the visit, the children learned both about Parshat Bereshit—when Hashem created the world, as well as Parshat Noach. After the visit, the children reflected on their experiences through art and storytelling.

Thank you to the Yavneh Parents Association (YPAA) for sponsoring the petting zoo! Everyone had a wonderful time.
