Kindergarten-2nd Grade Update:
Miss Jo is looking forward to seeing everybody on Sunday and hearing about your Passover Seders!
3rd-6th Grade Update:

With Passover upon us and eating "lotsa matzah," students were eager to share how they participated in their family Seders. Each student volunteered 'a Seder first' or highlight-bragging rights about their participation. All of our hard work truly paid off as there was such a sense of pride and accomplishment from all of the students. Definitely came to the conclusion.........SUCCESS :-) We are such proud teachers!

After enjoying a Pesach snack, we reviewed Ani Ma'amin and Eili Eili in preparation for the CSK Yom HaShoah program on Wednesday, April 27 at 7 PM. Please RSVP below to let us know that your family will attend.

We then (re)turned to the Shabbat prayers & melodies that had been placed on the back burner while preparing for Pesach: Mah Yafeh Hayom, L'chu N'ran'na, Shiru L'Adonai, Yism'chu, Rom'mu, L'cha Dodi, Tzadik Katamar, Bar'chu and our favorite, Bim Bom (the new version) complete with motions. The students were pointing and following in the Siddur-sounding soooo great and having such fun singing! Students will be leading Shabbat Services on Friday, May 20. Mark your calendars now!

As always, keep practicing Hebrew reading at home to reinforce classwork.
