Kite Day!
As a conclusion to the polygons unit in Geometry Pre-AP, Mrs. Rosenzweig and Mr. Riklin integrated the two classes having the upper school students teach second graders some of the properties of a geometric kite. All students had a great time flying the kites.
Oneg Shabbat
Yaarit and Ron Saar (center) pictured with daughters Dylan and Emma had a fantastic time joining the EC15 and EC2 Oneg Shabbat on Friday. Every week, parents are invited to attend this special Shabbat party. Children enjoyed singing their favorite songs and of course the challah and grape juice!
Tu B'Shvat Treats
High School students in Morah Rinat's Hebrew class enjoyed creating their edible Tu B'Shvat projects integrating this fun way of learning into their Hebrew lesson.
On the Beren Trading Floor
Ms. Bigham and Mr. Plummer's 4th and 5th graders got to play and compete against other schools in a nation wide game called The Stock Market Game! Students formed teams, chose names, and are coached by parents. The game uses real world stocks to give the students a feel for how the buying, selling, and overall trading of stocks works. It lasts 3 months and each team starts with $100,000. At the end of the 3 months the team who has made the most money wins.
"Fruit Man"
Bnot Sherut Shira and Adi prepared a super fun Tu B'Shvat themed Ulpan Maasi lesson and activity for students this week. Students learned all about the tradition of eating fruit from Israel and each student built their own "fruit man".
A Hands on Project
EC15 student Ariel Gonik works one on one with teacher Alissa Frenzel on her Tu B'Shvat project, which will use the green hand prints as leaves for her tree. Students enjoyed the hands-on project and are excited for the upcoming holiday!
The Power of Story
Over 1000 Jewish Educators and lay leaders gathered in Chicago for the Prizmah National Jewish Day School Conference. The theme of the conference was The Power of Story and there were hundreds of sessions to choose from on all aspects of Day School management and leadership.
A Colorful Periodic Table
8th grade students had a great time learning about the periodic table and then painting it onto ceiling tiles which will be hung up.
