This week in STEAM we continued learning about different ways to code/pattern, shapes, and the famous coder Grace Hopper! 

Students in Mrs. B's ECE4B class learned about the history of Groundhog Day and made a model of a groundhog peeping out of his burrow. The class watched the actual event on the interactive whiteboard and discovered that the groundhog saw his shadow, so there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

Students in Mrs. Rosenzweig's 6th grade math class memorized the prefixes of the metric system by playing a hot potato memory game. Additionally, students learned how to change units in the metric system.

On February 2, 2022, Mrs. Schneider's first grade students celebrated Twosday! The day began with making crowns announcing the day (2/2/22). All their activities revolved around the number 2!

This week in Mr. Polanski's Middle School Science classes, the 6th grade students learned how to classify animals and they learned about the 4 characteristics of invertebrates. In 7th grade, students learned about types of volcanoes, their structures, and volcanic eruptions. 8th grade students studied conservation of energy and perpetual motion.

Students in Morah Tzippe's Kindergarten Judaic Studies class learned about the bracha (blessing) of Hamotzi (bread) and did an experiment where yeast blew up a balloon over a water bottle! We love integrating sciences and our limudei kodesh (Jewish studies).

Students in Mrs. Kluger's 6th grade Navi class graphed Bnei Yisrael's closeness to Hashem while learning Shmuel Aleph.

High School students returned on Sunday from the acclaimed High School Retreat (the first retreat in 2 years) at Camp Young Judaea Texas. Students enjoyed learning, singing, spending time together bonding throughout the Shabbaton, and going full out for color war. Congratulations to Team Tel Aviv on their win. Thank you to our shlichim Aviva and Ori Friedmann and the Bnot Sherut Hadas Azriel and Hila Burack for coordinating an amazing time. Thank you to all the faculty and staff who chaperoned (we know you had fun too!).

Students in Morah Aviva's ECE4A class found some new gym toys to experiment with this week! The class had a blast walking on the pails and crawling through the tunnel. These are great activities to strengthen gross motor development while having fun at the same time.

This week in Mrs. Rosenzweig's Home Economics explo class, students learned how to sew with the sewing machines. The students learned different skills, including making a hem and making pleats. The students are currently working on aprons, which they will also wear on the occasions on which they have cooking lessons.
