Seventh-graders Maya Diner and Gaby Brown are applying the knowledge and skills they've acquired in Mr. Duke's Furniture Design Explo to launch a business, making custom, 3D-geometric-design challah and charcuterie boards. The young entrepreneurs developed two new designs this week and have begun to take orders. 

Students in Morah Tzippe's Kindergarten class used their shadows to create images for each step of the Pesach seder, and will use them to display in their Haggadot.

In Ms. Rantz's 2nd grade art class students worked on illuminated songs and passages from the Hagadah. The ones in the images above are "Chad Gadya" (one little goat) and the 4 sons.

Morah Aviva's ECE4 class had a busy week. The students were excited to welcome a new friend. They also continued working on their Haggadot and Pesach projects, and practiced lacing and literacy skills.

Last Friday, Ms. America's 3rd grade traditional class recited and presented Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have A Dream speech. Check out the awesome presentation here.

Students in 4th and 5th grade worked on a very special project with Gveret Erlichman to present to a student in need of a refuah. After reading about a girl who is sewing together a massive quilt to memorialize those who perished from COVID-19, students designed their own patches with meaningful words of inspiration, which Gveret Erlichman beautifully sewed together to make one unified quilt.

Middle school students in Ms. Goldstein's BIMA elective are working on a design fabrication project in collaboration with CIJE and Jewish day schools across the US. They will choose a figure from Jewish history and create an artistic representation of an aspect of their personality, as it relates to that figure and to themselves. They will be creating this piece using the tools in BIMA, and the finished pieces will be coordinated with the participating schools and put together for a digital gallery unveiling.

Pesach spirit is in the air as children as young as our Toddlers prepare for the chag, singing songs and creating items to be used at the Seders. The crafting process allows children to work on their fine motor skills while having fun.
