First Grade: Acting with Kavod & Achrayut

This week, we went over two big concepts: kavod (respect) and achrayut (responsibility) and reviewed them by playing a matching/acting game. The students would read a card and decide if it was an example of someone acting responsibly/respectfully or not.

Then, they could act out the card. After Hebrew Through Movement, we had choice time, where everyone chose between reading a story about remembering to say thank you, or playing Dag Maluach, a game similar to Red Light, Green Light that offers students the chance to practice counting in Hebrew.

K-2 Family Program

This week we explored achrayut/responsibility for children and for parents. Both students and parents examined some of the same texts through different means! For example, in the Talmud we find a list of responsibilities a parent has toward a child. While parents debated items on the list and created their updated , personalized versions, students created their own list of responsibilities toward a parent. After discussing parents’ responsibilities toward children, the sharing of responsibilities between parents and teachers toward children and children’s responsibilities toward parents, everyone came together to share some of their learning!
