Gan Gimmel Re-Writes The Very Hungry Caterpillar in Hebrew
Over the past few weeks Gan Daled has been working on creating our own version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar in Hebrew. We picked parts, created scenery and made our own costumes. We then went on to filming! We learned many Hebrew words along the way including days of the week, foods and the verb to eat.

Second Graders are Learning About Synonyms
This week, 2A and 2B learned about synonyms! Students articulated that synonyms are words with similar meanings but vary in degree. They expressed that synonyms can make reading and writing more descriptive. In order to get working with synonyms, we played a Kahoot! game. It was a close game and everyone had fun!

the year; this year we have two Adar's, lucky us! משנכנס אדר מרבים בשמחה

SEL Update
The 4th graders have recently been learning about the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through discussions, activities, and videos. By recognizing and changing our unhelpful thoughts, it is easier for us to regulate our emotions and behaviors. As a culminating project for this unit, the students created their own “choose your own adventure” video. Each group came up with a helpful and unhelpful thought associated with a different scenario which influenced their feelings and behaviors. Some examples included going to the dentist's office ("it's going to hurt”/ “I usually get prizes at the dentist”) or dropping a football and losing the game (“everyone is going to hate me”/ “it's just a game at least we had fun”). The students had a great time creating scripts, finding props around the classroom, and watching the final products!

Mr. Seymour Schachter Visits Grade 6 Technology Class
The sixth graders have been learning photo editing with Photoshop Elements and Photopea.com in technology class. This week, Mr. Seymour Schachter, an award winning graphic illustrator who creates many of the packages found in our homes such as Post Cereal, spoke with our students. He demonstrated how he uses Photoshop to produce these beautiful works of art. The students were excited to see the Fruity Pebbles cereal that they ate this morning along with other products familiar to them. Thank you Mr. Seymour Schachter.
