This week students in Morah Sandy's ECE3 class learned about the parshas Tazria and Metzora. They learned that for speaking lashon hara (derogatory speech) a person got tzaraat, spots on his skin. When he made teshuva (repented), the spots would go away. The class made booklets comparing a speaker of lashon hara to someone who did not sin. The students also dramatized what it looks like to talk about our friends and how that makes our friends feel sad.

Last week in Lower School PE, students started their unit on Disc Golf. The objective was to learn the terms related to the sport, and to practice driving and putting with the disc. Two of the games played were Drop Zone Putting and an obstacle course that combined gross motor activities such as running with aim and control. The students were all so excited to make a basket. Disc golf is a sport the whole family can play. In fact there are many courses to visit in Houston.
