Many have a custom to eat pomegranates on Rosh Hashana because it has many seeds and this represents the many mitzvos ( good deeds) that we do.
We brought in a pomegranate for circle time and we got to feel the seeds. Morah had a bowl with pomegranate seeds and some of us were even brave enough to taste them:)
At circle time we brought in a small table and set it up with some of the different things we use on Rosh Hashana. Morah put on a white tablecloth, honey into one of our honey dishes, we put candles for the holiday, round challahs, apples, honey and pomegranates.
Morah Tammy's husband ( nursery class) came to our classroom and did a shofar demonstration. He brought in all different kinds of shofars, long, short, bumpy , smooth, and we got to touch and feel all of them! He showed us that shofars come from the horns of an animal usually a ram. He blew them for us and we were able to compare the different sounds.
We decorated shofars with dot paints which we took home for Rosh Hashana.
