Dear Parents,
This past Sunday, our Sixth
grade class began the day with Tefillah led by Cantor Gutmann. They continue to
hone their Bar and Bat Mitzvah skills.
In honor of Tu B'Shvat which
fell on Monday this week, our 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes participated in a
"Seven Species" catagorizing activity during the "chugim"
time. Everyone really enjoyed it.
The 4th and 5th grades
continued to spent time learning about Tu B'Shvat and the blessings that are
recited on the "seven species" The kids had a chance to taste the Sheva Minim from Israel and learned how we categorize them for the holiday of Tu B'Shvat. We also discussed the way the holiday
is celebrated in Israel and how we celebrate here in America.
Our sixth grade students began the day on Tuesday with
Cantor Gutmann leading them in Tefillah and reviewing the important procedures
for their Bar/Bat Mitzvot.The 4th and 5th graders spent some time reading and discussing the importance of the "Shema". We also learned the days of the week in Hebrew and how to say yesterday and today. Finally, we concluded the day with a song that I taught them about everyday of the week and what we do on those days.
Ask your child if he/she can
sing the song to you. Let me know how you like it.
Have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend.Shabbat Shalom,
Toby Schlussel
