Spotlight on Grade 1

I hope that everyone enjoyed their time off. It is hard to believe that half the year is over. Rosh Hashanah is far behind us. We have had so much fun learning. Did you know that we had an apple tasting, made our own indoor sukkah, ate an edible tower of Babel, and dressed up as animals for Noah's Ark? The children are wonderful with their Hebrew letters. I was impressed how they were able to position their own bodies to represent their letters.

There is still so much more to experience in the next half of the school year. We have our family service coming up in Feb. There are more stories to learn about Abraham, Isaac, Joseph and Jacob. The rest of the Hebrew letters need to be taught. To learn about Shabbat we will be making a special " Shabbat box" (please save your shoe boxes). Don't forget Passover. It would be a great experience for the children to have a small version of a Passover Seder in class.

My philosophy regarding teaching will remain the same: informative,experiential, fun and varied. I am looking forward to teaching your children for the second half of the year.
