Jan. 31 Sunday class summary

Shalom,
Last Sunday, Rabbi Meyer met with the third graders on the bima and kicked off our special Project Based Learning about prayer that Morah Liz talked about in a recent letter. This morning I invited the students to write something on the board about what they learned. I also asked them to share their thoughts about the work they've been doing with Morah Heather in art, about what prayer looks like. The children worked so well independently, and then shared their ideas. We also reviewed our Hebrew letters with a lively and quite loud Hebrew Bingo game. After our service with Rabbi Meyer, we met with Morah Heather to continue learning about photo captioning and making choices about how to plan and decorate our class wimple (which we learned "hugs" the Torah scroll and keeps it closed).
Have a good week!

Tuesday, 1/12/16 class summary

Today I was so happy and proud to see that almost every child in our gimmel class--early and late sessions-- chose to help Morah Liz lead the Barchu prayer. That shows how comfortable they feel in school, how well and confident they are reading/chanting Hebrew, and how much fun our services are. Everyone is making great progress in their Mitkadem Hebrew program, and enthusiastic about learning to put together the Hebrew consonants and vowels and read!

No school this Sunday for the Martin Luther King holiday, so I hope to see everyone on Tuesday.
