LOWER ELEMENTARY
This past year brought many positive changes to the
Lower Elementary
. A special thanks to all our dedicated administrators, teachers, assistants and staff who selflessly gave of themselves to help each of our
talmidos
blossom!
As we celebrated 77 years since Bais Yaakov’s founding, our outgoing
Second Grade
is the largest in Bais Yaakov history!

TRANSITIONING GRADES
Transitioning from one grade to another in the
Lower Elementary
is a process which we approach with sensitivity. By inviting students to their next year's classroom, we build anticipation for the new school year. The girls meet
moros
and teachers, enjoy a short orientation and hear all about the highlights of the upcoming year. With this introduction, our students have an idea of what to expect when they return on the first day of school.
If you have any questions regarding your daughter’s placement for next year, please contact our school office at
lowerelementary@baisyaakov.net
or (443) 548-7700 ext 4. Orientation for Grades 1 and 2 will take place on Thursday evening, August 29th and for Preschool on Monday morning, September 2nd. Looking forward to seeing you!

SUMMER HOMEWORK
We have tried to make our summer packets welcoming and compelling, as well as productive and helpful. With ongoing practice, your daughters can review their skills in all areas such as
Chumash
,
kriah
,
ksiva
, math facts and reading comprehension. Just a few moments over these summer days, can make a significant impact on their first few weeks of the next school year. Please encourage your daughters to take advantage of this fun, learning opportunity by calling into our summer hotline, earning their way to slurpees & prizes and feeling positive about themselves through their efforts. We will recognize each girl on her return to school for completing her packets!

UPPER ELEMENTARY
BREAKFAST SIYUMIM IN GRADES 3 AND 4
After each class completed
Sefer Breishis
, the entire
Fourth Grade
joined together in the auditorium to enjoy pancakes and french toast in honor of this momentous milestone. We were honored to hear encouragement from
Mrs. Russi Steinhardt
, mother of our own Fourth Grader, Leah.
Mazal Tov
to all the students and
moros
on this significant accomplishment. Each of our
Third Grades
also each held a special breakfast
siyum
at the end of the year on
Parshas Vayaitzei
. Altogether, it was a great year of learning and growing in the Upper Elementary.

END OF YEAR ASSEMBLY
The entire
Elementary
gathered on the last day of school to celebrate the conclusion of another fun and exciting year of growth. The
Fourth Grade
led everyone in the End of Year Song, and
Morah Shulamis Juravel
and
Morah Mindy Abraham’s
classes
culminated
our school-wide
Simcha
program with a beautiful
simcha
dance.
Rabbi Sanders
spoke to the students about the feeling of accomplishment each girl should have after a year of learning.
Rabbi Stein
shared a message of using the summer as a time to appreciate what we have and to avoid complaining about what we may not have. The girls watched our
Year in Review Video
(click on the link to watch) that
Mrs. Yocheved Roth

SHAVOUS PROJECTS
Each grade made a special project highlighting the importance and beauty of
Shavous
. The
Fifth Grade
made lovely topiary plaques while the
Sixth Grade
dazzled in stylish flower necklaces that adorned each girl. The
Seventh Grade
let their creativity flow as they decorated flower cookies, and the
Eighth Grade
completed their last
Yom Iyun
by making pretty and tasty flower cupcakes. Each girl took home a beautiful project that actualized the importance of enhancing the
Yom Tov
.

FIFTH GRADE HOW-TO-FAIR & SEFER SHEMOS CHIDON
The
Fifth Grade
students put together a most informative and engaging
How-To-Fair
. Each girl wrote a process essay and made a magnificent tri-fold instructing visitors how to make their project, craft or food. The gym bustled as parents, students and teachers walked around to each demonstration and learned new techniques and ideas. The
Fourth Grade
visited from Park Heights and saw first-hand how exciting and stimulating the
Middle School
is! The girls did an outstanding job and felt really proud of their work. The Fifth Grade also participated in another fun and educational
chidon
(quiz) on important
Parsha
lessons learned in
Sefer Shemos
. Each class won prizes with the points they earned for participating weekly and in the
chidon
finale. The girls learned so much and had fun showcasing their knowledge among candy coated décor.

SIXTH GRADE LAMED TES MELACHOS AND PROJECT YUD BEIS
The
Sixth Grade
completed their
Yahadus
lessons about the
Lamed Tes Melachos (
39 forms of work prohibited on
Shabbos)
by completing their
Lamed Tes
binders. The girls let their creativity shine as they created beautiful pages highlighting each
melacha
. Additionally,
Project Yud Bais
(for girls in their
Bas Mitzvah
year) came to a close with its final program, helping each girl develop and grow as she embarks on her own personal journey into womanhood.

SEVENTH GRADE ERETZ YISROEL FAIR
The inspirational and exquisite
Seventh Grade Eretz Yisroel Fair
was the culmination of months of hard work and research that took visitors on a journey through the streets, along the
mikomos hakedoshim
and into the heart of
Eretz Yisroel
. Each girl had the opportunity to experience the different flavors and the rich history of our unique and holy land. Girls worked in groups to research their topics and create impressive displays mirroring their research. The girls learned a tremendous amount about
Eretz Yisroel
while gaining invaluable research skills that they will take with them throughout life.

EIGHT GRADE SOIREE
The Middle School said goodbye to another
Eighth Grade
class in a resplendent soiree that truly reflected the mixed emotions of the evening. The evening featured special guest speaker,
Mrs. Yehudis Feldman
, student speakers and an all-star cast in the teacher presentation. The impression the Eighth Grade made on the Middle School was profound as they gave their all to each committee and function that they participated in. The
ruach
and camaraderie that they displayed were second to none and they will be very missed.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
KABOLAS HATORAH
The
High School
had a special speaker to help everyone get into the spirit of
Shavuos
and
Kabolas Hatorah
.
Mrs. Maya Kleiner
, from our own Early Learning Center, enthralled us with her tale of searching to find the
Derech haTorah
. Her
nisyonos
, her courage, and her moral strength were laid out before us through her tale of triumph. The entire High School was greatly inspired by her talk.

EIGHT GRADE VISITS THE HIGH SCHOOL
The
Eighth Grade

ERETZ YISROEL BEE
The annual
Ninth Grade Eretz Yisroel Bee
proved to be as much fun as it was learning, as the five teams battled it out for what ended up as a two way tie for the first place finish. The questions ranged from the size of
Eretz Yisroel
, to
Gedolei Yisroel
who settled there, to great figures and places of the
Tanach
. An ice cream celebration was held for all participants- who were all winners!
