We had a very special Circle Time led by Mr. Calili. He came and discussed how the children felt after releasing the butterflies last week. He then read the story of Mole and the Baby Bird.
It is the story of a young Mole that finds and cares for a wounded baby bird. As the bird recovers, Mole's mother tells Mole that soon the bird will fly. Mole really wants to keep the bird and even builds a cage for the bird. Then one day, Granddad Mole takes Mole for a walk to the top of a hill. Mole feels the wind blowing and pretends to fly. When Mole returns home he sees the baby bird in the cage and decides to set him free.
After listening to the story, the children requested that Mr. Calili read them the story in Hebrew, which he graciously did. The children enjoyed having Mr. Calili read to them. They made comparisons to Mole with the baby bird and the Ganon children with the butterflies.
Below is a YouTube video of the story.
