Sunday, 3/5/17 Summary

We started preparing for our Shabbat class service scheduled for Friday, May 12. Morah Emily met us in the sanctuary and helped the students to feel comfortable with the prayers they selected to lead. We hope you and your extended families and friends will be able to join us and kvell at this special service.

Our tzedakah box was full so we did a little math and counted the money. Total=$33.01 if our counting was accurate! Thank you to everyone who has been contributing, and please continue to remind your children to do this important mitzvah. They have some wonderful ideas of where the money should go!

We ended our day by catching up in our books on any chapters or activities they may have missed, and then played "When I go to Israel, I'm going to bring. . . . "

Hope to see you all next Sunday, March 12 at 9 am for our interactive Megillah reading, followed by a Purim Carnival at 10:30. This is an event for the whole family; students must be accompanied by a caregiver. And please come in costume! Remember: It's Purim--Be Happy! And a little crazy, too!

Sunday 1/22 summary

We had a wonderful class today, full of creativity, working together, and preparation for two exciting events: Rabbi Meyer's 25th anniversary with our temple, and the third grade Shabbat service.

I presented the class with two ideas for gifts we could make for the Rabbi, and after choosing the activity they liked, they worked together to brainstorm ideas and then work on their projects. The children accomplished a lot in just an hour, and we have plenty of time to finish their creations in the coming months.

After the service with Rabbi Meyer, where we heard more of our story and prayed and sang, the children met with Morah Emily to choose the prayers and songs they'd like to lead in their Shabbat Service scheduled for Friday night, May 12. Please mark your calendars and plan to be there with your family and friends to kvel and be proud!

Have a good week, Morah Debbie
