The teachers: Inbar and Rotem Assistant: Hana Tea project in “Haoren” kindergarten -Akko

Background We chose to make a study about tea as a continuation of the family topic and as the beginning of “Purim feast” which happened in Achashverosh palace We study the different kinds of the tea while the parents are very much involved. We recycled things tha we got from the Israeli tea factory “wisotzki” and we connect it to literacy and Math. This project emphasizes the loving relationship in the family and we integrate in it stories from PJ library like Granny’s Magic Knitting Needles, “The bear does not feel good “and “The legend of the bridge”.

We sent a letter to the parents, asking about their tea drinking habits
