Kindergarten-2nd Grade Update:

On Sunday we reviewed everything that we learned about Tu BiShvat. Then we painted clay pots and planted parsley seeds in them. Miss Jo will take them home over the next few weeks to care for them and then bring them back to us when they sprout, hopefully in time for Passover, so we can have fresh parsley for our seder.

We also watched a sing-a-long Alef Bet Video and practiced our Hebrew letters. We learned the letters Kaf and Chaf and added them to our Hebrew notebooks. Ask your child if they can sing the Alef Bet song to you.

3rd-6th Grade Update:

On Sunday students continued to learn about coastal cities in Israel, adding two new locations to our list. First, we learned about the historical significance of the port in Caesarea and checked out the ancient amphitheater there, where they hold concerts throughout the year. Then, we shifted slightly northwest to Zichron Yaakov. This is our sister city through the South Palm Beach Federation and is where we are writing to our pen pals. Students were excited to learn about the town their pen pals come from. Ask your child to tell you about Caesarea and Zichron Yaakov.

On Tuesday, students dissected Parshat Terumah (gift). In this parsha, Moses receives the instructions for building the Mishkan (Tabernacle), in which the Jewish people kept their most prized possession- the Torah. Students shared their most special possessions and the specific places they are kept, in order to keep them safe. Ask your child what item they shared with the class.
