Kindergarten: Creating a Welcoming Community
This past week we got to know each other through many fun name games and exploring how to make a welcoming environment!
We then learned about how Abraham and Sarah welcomed three guests into their home and what they did to make sure they felt happy and at home. In Hebrew Through Movement (HTM) students learned how to say Hebrew in Hebrew (Ivrit), along with lakum and leshevet (stand and sit) while practicing them through body movements!
During the 11:30-12:30 K-2 Family Program we explored how the High Holidays invite all types of feelings that all deserve kavod- respect. Parents explored texts about feelings from the Talmud, Torah and modern psychology while students played improv games and sang songs to explore how all their different feelings have value and should be respected. At the end students and families rejoined to share their learning with each other!
