We thank you for entrusting your daughter to Bais Yaakov and wish you much nachas as she continues to progress. Wishing you a Lichtig and Freilich Chanukah!

WATCH OUR INFLATABLE LUNGS IN KINDERGARTEN
Come inside our Kindergarten class and see the creativity Mrs. Shelly Rosen uses to help our students learn all about the body and the various organs! Watch how lungs inflate and help the body breathe. The students have a fun and compelling lesson on how our bodies function.

I HAVE... WHO HAS...
In order to build reading fluency in the First Grade, Mrs. Chani Flam's class has an enjoyable, quick game which they use to practice sight words. The first student stands and reads the sight word written on her note card and asks, "who has the second sight word?". The second girl responds and continues the game in a chain until the girls review all of the words. They complete this in less than 2 minutes. The class enjoys the game, while improving both their fluency and confidence!

MATH EXPO TAKES SCHOOL BY STORM
Math is relevant and fun in Bais Yaakov Elementary! During our recent MATH EXPO, our auditorium and multi-purpose room were turned into interactive game centers that focused on Number Sense. Over 400 students and 350 mothers joined us at the Expo. Mothers and daughters were full of praise and appreciation for this event. Thank you to the families who joined us to help build your daughters' appreciation for math.
 
Kudos to our dedicated staff members and volunteers for making the expo an educational and fun event - your dedication is much appreciated. A special "Thank You" goes to Mrs. Sandy Rosenbluth and Mrs. Aviva Marks for spearheading this magnificent event.
