1st Grade: Responsibility & Mitzvot
This Shabbat we continued talking about responsibility and analyzed the different roles of responsibility in the Maccabees’ stories. We then discussed mitzvot and common types of good deeds. (Tzachi’s Class)
In HTM we learned about:
Kehilah – community
Achrayut – responsibility
Mitzvah – “good deed”
Allison’s Class-
This week, we learned about performing “g’milut chasidim” or acts of loving kindness. First, the class split into groups to come up with skits about performing acts of kindness. One group made a skit about being considerate when making noise, and the other was about giving food and money to those in need. Then, after Hebrew Through Movement, the class drew pictures of themselves doing an act of g’milut chasidim.
K-2 Family Program
“A group of people were travelling in a boat. One of them took a drill and began to drill a hole beneath himself. His companions said to him, ‘What are you sitting and doing?’ The man replied, ‘What concern is it of yours? Am I not drilling under my own place?’ They said to him: ‘But you will flood the boat for us all!” This week students and parents explored this story and others while diving into achrayut for the environment. Click here for the parent class and here for the student session! We look forward to wrapping up our Achrayut unit this Shabbat!
