Introduction to Passover

The Montessori classroom has begun their unit on Pesach! 

This week the students learned about chometz (leavened bread we do not eat during the holiday). 
We searched for chometz, practiced cleaning up chometz with Practical Life Montessori lessons, and even made a Bedikas Chometz (Searching for Chometz) kit!! 

Take a peek at our progress:
