Parshas Bamidbar

While learning about Parshas Bamidar, we discussed how the yidden rested. There were three camps, the inner camp had the mishkan, the second camp Moshe Aaron and the Cohanim and Leviim, and the outer camp the rest of Bnei Yisrael. There were three Shevatim on each side. For each side there was a flag representing the three shvatim. Morah divided us up into the different camps and we each designed our flag with the colors that represented our three shevatim.
Of course this lead us to the discussion of the World Cup and the flags that each country has. This of course led us into the discussion of what a COUNTRY is - so we explored the concepts of PLANETS, CONTINENTS, COUNTRIES, CITIES, STREETS AND ADDRESSES. These are all topics that we hope to master and understand over the next few weeks! The children who know their addresses and their suburbs were so excited to share them with us!
