This week, the first grade parents joined in morning davening with their children. The students were very excited to demonstrate to their parents how they read from the siddur. Morah Rivkie Gotlieb has truly cultivated a love for Tefillah in our children.
Thank you Morah Rivkie for inspiring your students!

In parshat Nasso, the Leviim are first counted by family, and then the group is summed. The commentators explain that this is akin to a rich man who first goes through his possessions one by one, appreciating each one individually, and then reflecting back on the total of his riches. Thus it is with Hashem, celebrating both each individual Levi and then the Leviim as a group.

JED Talks Challenge
Just as we expect our students to grow each year, we as educators and staff members want to continuously grow and improve our pedagogy as well. This year, RMBA had the first JED Talks Challenge. In this challenge, teachers gave a ten minute presentation about a goal they set for themselves, and how they went about working towards their goal, what they learned, and how they grew from the experience.
Kol Hakavod to Liat Goldstein, Matt Riklin, Missy Bernosky, Rivka Gotlieb, Asher Block, and Jennifer Rosenzweig for taking the initiative in teaching us all the true meaning of professional development!

Graphing Parabolas
The eighth grade students in Mrs. Rosenzweig's Algebra class applied the quadratic equation in calculating the parabolas formed by throwing a ball in the air from different initial heights.
Students determined multiple variables including velocity and ball air time. Further, students graphed their results.

Hebrew Shopping
The 7th and 8th grade students in Morah Rinat's class completed their final Hebrew project in Randall's supermarket. Students were given a shopping list in English, then students had to find the items and record themselves calling out the name of each of the items in Hebrew.
The students had a great time practicing their Hebrew vocabulary!

Shavuot Spirit
Last week, Lower School students got into the spirit of Shavuot by making beautiful projects to decorate their homes with for the holiday. Further, we had our amazing bnot sherut, Shira and Osi, sharing a delicious dairy treat (i.e., chocolate milk and croissant) with all RMBA students.

Dreaming Without Fear
Mrs. Bryant challenged all RMBA students, parents, and teachers to think about answering the question "What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"
The responses were incredible and enlightening. RMBA has big dreamers who want to become models, actresses, doctors, attend highly recognized universities (e.g., Princeton), move to Israel, help people, have millions of small animals, take a picture with Aaron Judge, beat Ronaldo and Messi in one soccer game, and bring peace to Eretz Israel.
If you haven't provided your response, please drop by the lobby and do so. We want to know what your big dream is!
