FROM THE DESK OF THE ADMIN TEAM
|
This week's administrator blog titled "The Art and Heart Of Giving Feedback" is written by Judaic Studies Principal Rabbi Aaron Levitt here.
|
Better Together high school participants gathered for an afternoon of Torah learning and discussion on the subject of Hiddur P'nai Zaken, valuing the elderly. Students learned Jewish texts and were challenged to think about how we show fear, respect, honor, love, reverence, and appreciation to the people in our lives. After some thoughtful discussion, students reflected in their Better Together journals about how they could use today's insights in cultivating relationships with the residents at The Medallion this year.

CARDS FOR HUMANITY Seventh grade practices how to add and subtract integer numbers while playing cards. The red cards were positive numbers, black numbers negative numbers and the game and learning was on. Students loved this game and the learning was amazing.
MATCH IT Mikaela Bublil (EC3) practices matching the correct numbers with the corresponding amounts of images. NEW IMAGE Molly Goldstein stands alongside her latest work as she assists Mrs. Bryant who is installing the latest collection of student art on our Photography Gallery wall. TIPPING POINT Judaics teacher Morah Ruti introduces the concept of Yom Kippur with her EC 3 students and using a scale, illustrates how their shared good deeds should hopefully outweigh any negatives ones. HEATING UP Mrs. Schneider's first graders are learning about temperature and conducted an experiment to understand how fur keeps animals warm. They placed two thermometers in ice water with one wrapped in cotton balls. Can you guess which thermometer retained its heat? ADDING UP EC4 is counting the days until we hit the 100 days of school mark and every day during circle time they use their counting blocks in multiples of 10 to track the days. Rita Harari is assisting Morah Heather as they move into day 31.
