Our World- Light

This week Pre-K friends has started exciting unit “Our World." If you slow down for a moment and start to pay attention on the things around you, you will be amazed. Hashem creates the world for us with kindness. On the first day of creation, Hashem created light and separated it from the dark. Hashem saw that light is good. Friends discussed why light is good,

" Light is good because when it is dark you can bump into walls and carriages  You need to put hands up to touch and  feel things around you. When it is light you don't do it. When it is light we could see, play and eat. (Ethan)

Light is good because we can see. When it is dark we can use flashlights. (Sammy)

When it is light, we could see everything, toys and babies. (Benny) Dylan added to Benny's remarks that babies are more important.

Light is good because people will be not scared and they will see things around. (Etelle)

Light is good because we can see where to go. (Nicole)

Light is good because we can see while reading.(Gabriel)

Light is good because it allows us to see our moms, dads and babies. (Ariella) 

Light is good because we can find babies and toys. (Rochelle) 

Light is good because we can see our family. (Dylan) 

Light is good because we can see, summarized Leora. 

There is day light and night light. What things make light? Together friends created list of things that make light. Main source of day light is SUN! Friends learned that sun is the closest star to Earth. It is yellow star, it gives us light and warmth. Night lights are things that we can see at night- stars, fireflies. Some friends suggested to add MOON to our list. They were surprised to learn that moon doesn't make own light it reflects sun light. There is not much light during night. Therefore, we use fire and electricity- candles, fire, flashlights, lights and lamps. What are other source of light? Fireflies, lighting, and fireworks. 

Things that make light are HOT! Friends learned some safety rules regarding each light source.
