The Tauber Academy at Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center is accredited by AISF, SACS, and CITA,
and is affiliated with The Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education
In Art the students review and
learn about shapes. They
practice and improve their
cutting and gluing skills, learn
about collage by creating
the cut paper pizza and by
using overlapping. Most
pizzas are circles. They began by
coloring the "sauce" with red crayon,
They used thin white rectangles for
cheese and glue and overlap them on the
pizza. They talked about different topping shapes
(meatballs are brown circles, mushrooms are
gray semi-circles, olives are small black
circles, green peppers are triangles, and
pineapples are yellow squares). They painted
around the edges with a light brown color for
the crust. To top the whole project off, we
used real individual pizza boxes (donated by
Here Comes the Sun Restaurant), and the
students designed the tops to advertise their
pizzeria. The pizza collage is placed inside the
box. The kids loved this project as kids love
pizza, but it made everyone hungry!

Dear Parents,
A very sweet little boy in one of our Pre-Kindergarten classes was recently
diagnosed with Leukemia. Although his prognosis is very good, he still has to
undergo chemotherapy and treatment for the next three years. Daniel misses all
his friends terribly. We would like to show our support for Daniel by having all
the kids wear blue "I
Daniel" wrist band bracelets. It would definitely lift his
and his family's spirits if we could all show our support.
We will be selling the wrist bands for $5 in the lobby and at the Purim Carnival
on Monday. All the proceeds will go to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital for
research for children with cancer.
We would like to encourage everyone to buy for your kids, your friends kids and
yourselves. This is the time when our community must come together and show
support for this little boy.
Thank you.

How to Handle
Preschool Bullies
Protect your child from bullying at daycare
By Deborah Carpenter
or preschool
Not too young to be a bully
With school bullying consistently in the media spotlight,
most parents are aware that it's a serious problem. That's
encouraging -- but we're forgetting about our youngest
and most vulnerable age group, the toddler and preschool
crowd.
We once thought these kids were too young for the kind
of tormenting we associate with bullying. But sadly, that's just not true -- and because little-kid
bullying is so surprising to many parents, it's not noticed as readily as in older kids, says Henry D.
Schlinger, Ph.D., director of the applied behavior analysis program at California State University at
Los Angeles. Adults dismiss it as "kids being kids."
It doesn't have to be that way, and that kind of attitude ignores the very real developmental leaps kids
make in late toddlerhood. Before age 3, kids don't have the cognitive ability to feel empathy, says
Brenda Nixon, a mom, former preschool teacher, and author of The Birth to Five Book. So a child
might hurt another kid emotionally or physically, but he doesn't really get how that feels to his
playmate. You can't really say that he's being mean. After 3, that changes: "The brain has the ability
to understand another point of view, so that's the age that premeditated and purposeful aggression
could begin," says Nixon. In other words, these little troublemakers should know better.
The reasons kids bully vary, says Schlinger. "Often kids this age are imitating behavior they've seen
before" from a parent, sibling, or friend, he says. Other kids turn to bullying to get attention, either
from adults or peers. Still others bully for more complex reasons. "It's much more concerning when a
child bullies because it makes him feel good to see signs of injury, fear, or misery in his victim," says
Schlinger. "That type of bully can be hard to stop."
Too often, parents and even teachers take a wait-and-see approach with preschoolers. That's not
helping anyone -- the bullied kid or the bully. "The problem with ignoring smaller incidents is that
intervention doesn't happen until it reaches a crisis point or someone gets hurt," says Schlinger.
Ouch! I was guilty of this. Before showing me his school picture, my son had told me time and time
again that a boy was "bothering" him, and I'd dismissed it.
