3rd-6th Grade Update:
On Sunday, students and staff went to various Mitzvah Day activities in the community. Morah Marla and Mr. Zach participated in the PJ Library Mitzvah Activity. They donated perishables, watched magic shows, and got to make some cool art projects. The Falchooks and Nasettis joined them. The Baums, Raymans, Graefs, Cohens, and Abrams went gleaning.
On Tuesday, students learned about Parshat Tazria (to plant) and the concepts of pure vs. impure. Students made lists of people or things and labeled each as pure or impure. They shared their lists and ideas of what makes something pure or impure. Ask your child to share their list with you.
HEBREW
On Tuesday, we continued singing Ani Ma'amin and Eili Eili in preparation for the Yom HaShoah program on Wednesday, April 27 at 7 PM. Continuing with our Passover prep, the students practiced the 'order' of the Seder, complete with motions-getting quite good at it! We concentrated on various blessings focusing on our Hebrew root words: Candles, Wine, Shehecheyanu, Karpas, and Yadayim. (That's an easy one as we always recite it before our Religious School snack!) We sang through The 4 Questions, Avadim Hayinu, and V'nomar L'fanav-motions to be added! Please remember to have your child show off their Hebrew reading skills and accomplishments!!
As always, keep practicing Hebrew reading at home to reinforce classwork.
