What Happened in Grades K & 2 on Sunday, January 31...

Kindergarten

This morning in Kindergarten, while we waited for everyone to arrive, we drew pictures of what it means to treat other people the way that we want to be treated.

Next, we went to Kehillah. We sang HaTikvah and enjoyed our favorite snack - cheese itz! We said mezonot over the cheese itz and shehakol over our water.

Then we went to services. Today the Cantor was in a silly mood! We sang songs pretending that we were fish and pretending that we were our grandparents.

When we got back to the classroom, we had Circle Time. We each shared something special that happened to us during the week and something about how we can treat others the way we want to be treated.

In Art class today, we talked about what it means to be a friend and how we make friends. We used pipe cleaners and googly eyes and beads to make friends that represent everything that we learned about being a friend.

Grade 1

Our Grade 1 students were at home this morning, resting up after their busy day on Saturday! They led our congregation in Shabbat morning services as we all celebrated their Consecration together.

Grade 2

In Grade 2, we started our morning by talking about ways that we are the same and ways that we are different. This is because our theme today is B'tzelem Elohim, which means that we are all created in God's image. 

Next, we went to Kehillah. We sang HaTikvah and enjoyed our favorite snack - cheese itz! We said mezonot over the cheese itz and shehakol over our water.

Then we went to services. Today the Cantor was in a silly mood! We sang songs pretending that we were fish and pretending that we were our grandparents.

Back in class, we looked at the Hodahah (thanksgiving) part of the Amidah (the central prayer in our worship service). In this part of the Amidah, we thank God for many things, including making us uniquely in God's image.

In Hebrew, we reviewed sound alike letters. Here, we are matching the letters that make the same sound, like vav and vet. 

 

We also worked more on our flashcards, which will help us review at home. To make the flashcards, we traced the letters, which also helped us get in some more practice!
