Dear Parents,
Today we began our Tu B'Shvat learning. Your children did a Tu B'shvat word search and some other worksheets. I shared with them two of my favorite tree books, "The Giving Tree" and "A Tree is Nice". Our discussion segued into people who are "givers" and those who are "takers". Our next discussion was about Tu B'shvat as an Earth Day type holiday and the biblical reason for the holiday. I explained why it's important that farmers in Israel know when their trees were planted. Ask your children about this. We will continue with more Tu B'shvat fun on Tuesday with an all school program and some "pomegranate magic" with Morah Robinson.
We learned two new letters today and finished lesson 10. Your children brought home a worksheet to practice their Hebrew reading with you .We played a reading game with flashcards and everybody was a rock star today!
Mazel tov to the Findling family on Charlie's Bar Mitzvah this past weekend.
We missed Ivy, Daniel, Ethan, Addison and Addisyn today.
Hope to see everyone on Tuesday .
Davida
