Sukkot

It's late and we're starting a big week tomorrow so this will be quick. Tomorrow we're starting our first Language Arts blocks (learning the letters!)  We're doing "Snow White and Rose Red" (Grimm's) to introduce the letters B and V.  Just read it for the fourth time and I'm hoping it's enough (I'm telling the story, not reading).  I'll be telling the story tomorrow, we draw a picture on Tuesday and then Wednesday, we'll "find" the letters in the picture and will write them and do verses and such.

We just finished up Sukkot here and I wanted to post a few photos of our Sukkah and the decorations.

Our Sukkah

Inside of the Sukkah 

Rainbow finger-crocheted chain
(this was Yoav's idea - it's just like paper chains, but instead of paper loops, he made finger crochet loops)

Dried apples - we strung these the day before Sukkot and they were crunchy and yummy by Sukkot end - it was a perfect place to hang them since it was out of direct sunlight.
