1. March 2012 Updates: Celebrating Purim and Passover Hahgoot was excited to get a Mishloach Manot for Purim from her friend Alana, now living in St Ives. Exploring the similarities and differences of various Hagadot, when learning about Passover.

2. I taught Dorothea how to make the hamantaschen cookies, unique for Purim, and she made a huge quantity. We used them for my “3 in 1” party, for a plate Hahgoot shared with her classmates, for our many Mishlochei Manot and just for munching at home and with guests. They were a very big success!

3. Hahgoot drew a series of “advertisements” for products that will help you through the 10 plagues (we sent it to the BJE). I made her a workbook in Hebrew with Passover related activities and enjoyed it very much.

4. She searched the dictionary for hard words and definitions, did grammar tasks on her own, solved math riddles and generally was motivated again to do her Hebrew studies after a long time she wasn’t co- operating.

5. I also gave her a workbook in English about Mummies and pyramids, which she greatly enjoyed and finished quickly by herself.

6. Special stickers also were a good motivator... Hahgoot made Purim cards for her many friends.

7. And then made A LOT of mishlochei manot with treats, Purim props and homemade festive cookies.

8. Hahgoot enjoyed her “Purim factory”... In our next presentation: Some more news from Hahgoot
