Kindergarten
Today at the
beginning of class, some of us played a memory game. This game used characters
and objects from the story of Purim. We had to use our memory and learn about
Purim.
Then during circle
time, we talked about what we did during the week. Some of us went
skiing and snowboarding.
Then we played Shimon Omer, or Simon Says in English.
We got to learn some Hebrew words while we did it, such as Rosh, the word for head.
Next, Mrs. Bernstein
told us a story about Purim. We learned that we should never be afraid to tell
people that we are Jewish.
At the end of the
day, we made and decorated masks that we could wear during Purim. What a fun
day!
Grade 1
Mazal Tov to our Grade 1 students on their Consecration this past Shabbat!
Grade 2
During
the beginning of class, Grade 2 talked about transliteration. That is when the Hebrew words are written out using English letters. The prayer we were
studying was Modeh Ani. First, Ms. Evans helped us read slowly through the Hebrew. Then, she showed us the transliteration. We don't know all of the Hebrew letters and vowels yet, so the transliteration made it so much
easier for us to read! We recited the prayer twice and then Chad, Jacob and Michael sang it with us!
During
Havdallah, the sixth graders came around and we got to smell the spices and look
at the candle! It was fun.
Afterward we went to T'filah and we talked about this week’s Torah portion, Mishpatim. It’s all about rules, but mostly rules about how we handle situations when we're not sure what to do. If we aren’t sure, we now know we can ask our parents about the right Jewish way to respond.
Back
in class, we worked on the alef bet. We got out our workbooks and talked about the
letter vav.
During
library today, the librarian read us a book called God Must Like Cookies Too.
It’s about a little girl who goes to synagogue with her grandmother. They go to
the oneg Shabbat their temple holds and the girl got to have 3 cookies. After
we read the story we got to pick out books!
