The famous Mr. Ziggawat has visited the Kindergarten Judaic Studies class and they are super excited! What, you never heard of Mr. Ziggawat?!
He is the beloved Alef-Bet learning puppet from the Ziggawat Alef-Bet Series. Kindergarten students are on a roll with their Alef-Bet recognition. They utilize many versatile forms of learning, including workbooks, hands-on games, and interactive multi-media, which bolsters their mastery of the Alef-Bet letters. Besides for a giant Mr. Ziggawat stuffed puppet that Morah Nechama has created, each child created their own mini Mr. Ziggawat stick puppet. Mr. Ziggawat joins them to point out Alef- Bet letters and to play Alef-Bet recognition games, such as when an Alef-Bet letter is velcroed onto the puppet's tummy and then matched on a Bingo board. Hands-on learning makes the Alef- Bet come alive and aids in memory retention. The all-around fun creates a feeling of positivity and excitement with regards to Alef- Bet and Judaic learning. This great foundation remains with the students for life. We hope you might also get to meet the famous Mr. Ziggawat one day, soon!
