WISHING YOU A HAPPY PURIM! 

ROSH CHODESH ASSEMBLY - CHINUCH ATZMAI
During our Rosh Chodesh Adar Assembly, the girls joined together to sing Hallel, listen to a beautiful D'var Torah from our own 5 thgrader, Miri Epstein, and Rabbi Stein shared how we can create our own feelings of simcha through doing mitzvos and acts of chessed. The girls then learned about an exciting opportunity to support an important organization,
Chinuch Atzmai in Eretz Yisroel. Rabbi Yosef Pollack of Chinuch Atzmai shared a story about the organization's impact on families in Eretz Yisroel, and our own Tehila Cohen spoke to the entire Upper and Lower Elementary divisions of the school about her own fond experiences in a Chinuch Atzmai School. Through this tzeddaka drive the girls will have ability to earn prizes and raffles.

THIRD GRADE 
Mrs. Mirsky and her Third Graders enjoyed hearing Bryna Esther Weiner play violin at   their class handwriting party. They finished learning all the cursive letters and wrote letters to the Mike and Ike company in cursive.






Mrs. Herskowitz's class
put on a performance on the topic of Emes before the entire student body at the recent breakout activity for our schoolwide theme of The Power of Speech.

FOURTH GRADE 

Morah Reidler and her Fourth Graders prepared sample challos shaped like a model of the Lechem Hapanim. These special challos were placed on the Shulchan in the Mishkan.

 

 

FIFTH GRADE 
Rabbi Shalom Tendler, from the Star-K and father of our own Miriam Tendler, came to describe the various elements of checking fruits for bugs. What a great way to prepare for Tu B'shvat!
 

The Fifth Grade continue to debate on various topics as they continue with more persuasive writing in Miss Friedman's and Miss Snider's classes. These girls really know how to present a valuable and convincing argument in a respectful manner that is focused on evidence.  
The Fifth Graders continued their tradition of preparing and decorating boxes for Bikkur  Cholim to use in their packages. 
PHYSICAL EDUCATION 

Mrs. Greenfield really keeps our girls active during Physical Education classes as she converted our Gym into a fun and challenging obstacle course.

SCIENCE SHOW

Mrs. Segal, parent of 1st Grader Temima, presented a fascinating and educational Science show all about qualities of air. Her expert and engaging experiments brought to life how to appreciate this wonderful gift from Hashem. The students and teachers continue to talk about this powerful experience.
