We re back on cyberCAJE after being out of touch for a while. Both of us have been traveling Anne to Jerusalem, Ronni to Albuquerque, collecting resources and ideas which we will be sharing with you. With spring in the air and CAJE 26 around the corner, here are some suggestions to help you, your classroom, and your Teacher Resource Center blossom. B Shalom, Ronni Sims and Anne Rothenberg, Teacher Resource Center Network co-chairs Chag Purim Sameach Purim is a time for costumes and disguises. As an integrated lesson, relate the concept of disguise to nature study.
Students can search for examples of animal disguises in library books or on the internet.
Fish and reptiles, in particular, exhibit various body shapes, colors, and skin textures which act as disguises. Have students display pictures or descriptions of their disguised discoveries for a really unique Purim bulletin board.
