Gan Gimmel Rewrites "Ten Apples Up On Top"

In conjunction with our Apple Unit, Gan Gimmel enjoyed reading "Ten Apples Up On Top" by Dr. Seuss. Inspired by this book, each child took the opportunity to write and illustrate a page for our very own Gan Gimmel Ten Apples Up On Top book. The children decided how many and what item they were going to write and illustrate about. The students’ creative ideas included markers, roses, doughnuts, rainbows, butterflies and much more. We were so excited to publish another book and add it to our library!

Ganon Bet Discusses Teshuva, Tefillah, and Tzedakah

The children in Ganon Bet surely know how to be good friends. Here are some of the ideas we came up with during our discussion of what Teshuva, Tefillah, and Tzedakah mean to us: ask someone who is sad what is wrong, make some cards to make people happy, daven that someone sick will feel better, when building - use your hands and words in a nice way, ask if you could help or join in play, call the ice cream truck for your friends. G’mar Chatima Tova!

3E Learns About Teshuva

This week in class 3E we are focusing on how we can do Teshuva before Yom Kippur. We read a book called "Ma HaSiman SheBiAnan" which described to the students the proper way to do Teshuva. It is a three step process 1 - the action we should not have done 2 - apologizing, and 3 - fixing the mistake. Each of us has done things that were wrong this year, but if we apologize and fix our mistakes, then we have done proper teshuva. This was reinforced through a game in iTalAm having the students put teshuva in the proper order! Lastly, we all thought about different actions that we want to apologize for and fix at the start of the new year!

Build a Number in 2A & 2D

Second grade has been learning all about number sense and place value. This week we had fun building three digit numbers using unifix cubes, base ten blocks, or drawing it out! After we built the numbers, we took pictures on Seesaw and recorded an explanation of our work.
