Yom Huledet Sameach Israel!

(Happy Birthday Israel!)

We love marching, especially if there is a reason to march. Israel is celebrating its 64th birthday. When we march all the children carry their own flags. 

In our classroom we like to give the children the freedom of creation. 

We show the children the Israeli flag.  We talk about it. We acknowledge the stripes, the Star of David, and the colors. We all agree that blue paint will be needed. We give the children blue dot paints and blue paint for the star cookie cutter, and we let them create their Israeli flag. As you can see below, all of the children's projects are Israeli flags, yet they are all unique. 

 

Happy Birthday Israel!
