Dear
4th - 6th grade families,
On
Sunday we started the day as we usually do, with a beautiful Tefillah session
in the small chapel lead by Cantor Gutman.
We
combined the 6th graders from both reading classes and played a very intense
and challenging game of Hebrew reading "Popcorn". This game not only
gives the students the opportunity to practice their reading skills, but it
also helps them work on staying focused and on-task.
Between
classes, the entire school split up into their various Chugim (electives)
groups. The kids continue to enjoy this special part of our day.☺
The
4th and 5th graders read together from their books and also practiced and reviewed
the days of the week in Hebrew that they learned last week. Ask them to tell
you their names. Next we played a game of Hebrew reading
"tic-tac-toe", and ended the day with a quick round of
"Shimshon Omer" (Simon Says).
Tuesday
began with the 6th graders in their Torah Lab with Cantor Gutman. Everyone did
a nice job participating and practicing the parts of the bar and bat mitzvah
service.
We
spent the rest of the day giving the 4th, 5th and 6th graders a mid-year
reading assessment. This will allow us to see the amount of progress each
individual student has made thus far. Assessments will continue next Sunday for
the kids that were absent. We ended the day exploring the map of Israel.
Wishing
you a peaceful weekend with your family and friends. We look forward to seeing
you all on Sunday.
Shabbat
Shalom,
Morah
