Dear Parents,
Due to Tuesday's inclement weather, we only had Sunday school this past week.
While your children were saying their Teffilot Sunday morning, the teachers of the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade Hebrew classes got a chance to meet with parents that signed up for conferences. We had constructive conversations with parents about their children's progress. We shared with them the reading assessment for their child that we recently completed and the texts we are using to strengthen and polish their Hebrew reading skills.
This is an excellent way to speak with us and get a handle on what you can do to help your child succeed.
We will be meeting again with parents this coming Sunday morning and if need be other Sunday mornings. If you haven't already, please sign up and take the opportunity to meet with us.
Immediately following Tefillah , the classes helped with the mitzvah of assembling Mishloacht Manot packages for Yad Ezra clients and also got the chance to pack a Mishloach Manot package for their family. The students included their very own designed card indicating the package came from Shaarey Zedek. What a wonderful way to encourage some of the mitzvot of Purim- Mishloach Manot (sending gifts to your friends and neighbors) and Matanot Levyonim (giving charity to the poor).
We tried something new on Sunday, in 4th,5th, and 6th grade Hebrew classes. We learned b'chavrutah. We paired the more advanced readers with less advanced readers and they learned together. This seemed to work out really well and the students enjoyed this slightly different approach.
Speaking of Purim, Wednesday night, I attended the fabulous Purim carnival and Megillah reading at Shaarey Zedek.
It was so nice to see so many of our families there.We had a great turnout. Many of my students volunteered to run some of the booths and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday. Shabbat Shalom, Toby Schlussel
