Shul School 2020: Week 2 Wrap-Up
October 25, 2020
Shalom Shul School parents!

Thank you all so much for swinging by to pick up your kids' Shul School bags. It was nice seeing the upper halves of many of your faces and getting to chat for a bit! Please let me know if it seems like something's missing from your bag- I'm a bit sleep deprived in this pre-bag packing picture!- and I'll get you whatever's missing (if you're not sure what all's supposed to be in there, let me know and I'll email you a list of contents.)

I hope your kids are getting into the swing of things with their new Shul School routine. I received overwhelmingly positive reports from all of the teachers today! I've also been hearing great things so far about our new one-on-one Hebrew tutoring approach.

We are learning and adjusting as we go based on teacher and parent feedback. Please call or email me if you have any thoughts or observations you'd like to share. It aint too late to make changes, so keep me posted!

Education Director

Gan Nitzan

"Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory Glory"- today we watched a movie about Noah's Ark and learned that the rainbow is a sign of God's promise (covenant) not to flood the earth again. We voted to collect shoes and clothes for our tzedakah project this year. We learned a new song, "Shavua Tov" and agreed to paint a picture of a rainbow to share next week. We ended with "Three Little Birds"- "Don't worry about a thing 'cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"
Shafririyot

Today we were all together for the first time. We watched a video to learn about tzedakah and made our own tzedakah for a shark pal, Sharla.
Parparim

Today we talked all about chesed (kindness). We learned why it is always important to be kind and how one kind action can inspire another! Don’t forget that our shi’oray bayit (homework) is to make our buddies. Send a picture to Ms. Rachel (rachelab616@gmail.com), so she can put it in the powerpoint for next class.
Ask your child: What is something you will do this week to be kind to others?
Devorim/Tzipporim

We spoke about the Israelites leaving Egypt, and how they overcame the obstacles in their way. We did a little science experiment, an art project, and watched two videos. 
HaYa'ar

We reviewed Ein Keloheinu today and learned the Amidah (before Kedushah). There is also a powerpoint for recordings of the parts of Musaf we’ve learned (it will be updated weekly). Please encourage your child to review what we’ve learned each week.
