Dear 4th - 6th grade families,
On Sunday we began the day with a Tefillah service lead by Cantor Gutman. As usual, the kids all participated nicely and it was a pleasure to hear their voices singing the prayers together.
Both the 6th grade class and the 4th and 5th grade class worked on practicing lines in their reading books, and then we also learned, discussed, read and sang the different brachot that we say during Chanukah (it's right around the corner!) We sang a few Chanukah songs together, as well. We ended the day with a fun game of Hebrew tic-tac-toe :)
Everyone enjoyed participating in their chosen Chugim (electives). As you know, this is a new addition to our Sundayschedule, and everyone seems to like it very much. It is a great way to break up the day and have some fun!
On Tuesday, the 6th graders had yet another successful Torah Lab, practicing and participating in the various parts of the Shabbat service. With each Tuesday that passes, they are becoming more and more comfortable and familiar with the different aspects of what will happen on their "big day".
The 4th and 5th graders continued reading together from their books, and we reviewed the letter "tsadee" - צ. In honor of this letter, Morah Schlussel taught the students the song/dance "Tsenah, Tsenah, Tsenah". It's a simple and very fun dance -- ask your kids to teach it to you :)
It was a great week of learning and reading together, and we look forward to seeing you all Sunday morning!
B'shalom,
Morah Dona Levinson
