This week in Morah Clara's ECE3B class, students started learning about Pesach. They learned about chametz and how it's necessary to clean all chametz from their homes and classroom. In class, the students honed their fine motor skills by using a dabber to color a hanger. The hangers will be turned into Pesach crafts for their bedrooms. To help familiarize themselves with the new vocabulary they learned, including elements of the seder and the Haggadah, the students enjoyed playing a Pesach version of the game "I spy with my little eye." In addition to this, the children had fun playing a new ABC frog matching game, where they had to match lowercase letters to their corresponding uppercase ones. Successful matching allowed the frog to jump to the lotus leaf.

Students in Morah Rivkie's 6th grade Chumash class fused art and Torah by incorporating Nōtan Art with the Aseret Hadibrot learning. Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements as they are placed next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. Stay tuned for the finished piece!

This week students in Morah Sandy's ECE3A class learned about how the Jews donated many items and worked every day except for Shabbat to build the mishkan. The class discussed the different melachot that are prohibited on Shabbat and made their own challah covers to help observe this special day.

This week Moriya and Talya, our Bnot Sherut kicked off אלוף העברית, the lower school Hebrew Champion competition which will be taking place next week. Each student participating will receive a booklet with words and 3 sections about various cities to learn. Three winners from each grade will be selected and they will then compete against each other in the final round. Wishing all participants Hatzlacha Raba, good luck!

Spring is in the air and Pesach preparations have begun in Morah Aviva's ECE4 class! The children made fork print tulips after observing how to make primary colors lighter - into pastels! They helped Morah mix white into each color and were fascinated watching the colors turn lighter. They made pink, lavender, buttercup yellow, and turquoise. They also began their Pesach unit this week and each child is working on his/her own special Haggadah for the Seder table. At the same time, they are focusing on the symbols on the Seder plate, and the order of the Seder itself.

Mr. Simon’s Third Graders studied multiple meaning words this week. They had fun with homophones and homographs. Homophones are words that sound the same and have different meanings. Homographs are words that have more than one meaning!

Students in Moreh Ori's 7th–8th grade Hebrew class enjoyed a fun Bananagram contest. The students learned about different Hebrew verbs and tried to build them.

This week both Morah Tsippi's and Morah Suzi's ECE2’ classes went - for the first time - to the art room to work on their crafts! They painted a blue water scene and a sandy path that will become a Kriat Yam Suf (splitting of the sea) scene.

This week in Ms. Adriana's STEAM class students started to explore the changing season of spring! They made coffee filter flowers, had fun with watercolors, dissected two kinds of roses, learned about the exterior parts of the rose, and went on a nature walk to discover the spring changes happening in our very own environment!
