Kindergarten- Kavod Games!
This past week we finished up our lesson on Kavod with a board game called the road to kavod. We had several cards with situations and students had to tell us if it was kavod or not.
If it wasn’t they had to come up with a solution to make it respectful then they could move on the board. In Hebrew they reviewed colors they learned previously and learned new words such as Katom- orange, tzahov- yellow and lehatzbiah – point. (Elie’s Class)
(Raya’s class) Last Saturday we learned about Abraham and Sarah as the founders of our Jewish family and that to mark their special relationship with God, their names were changed. We learned that their son’s name was Isaac (meaning laughed) and that they had a special way of welcoming guests. In Hebrew Through Movement: we introduced some modifiers: לְאט (Slow), מהֵר (Fast)
K-2 Family Program
This week we wrapped up our Kavod unit with a special siyum (completion) and reflected on where families saw growth in certain areas and what challenges they encountered. We looked back on our learning about kavod for feelings, mistakes/fixing, trying again/vulnerability, nature, home and learning. It was lovely to hear parents share ways they see increasing kavod as a worthy process in their home and to hear students share which area(s) are closest to their hearts. We look forward to beginning our next unit on Achrayut/Responsible this Shabbat!
