Seventh graders find their balance in our first Moving Traditions lesson!

Tonight was our first Moving Traditions lesson, in which our seventh graders explored “teen stuff” like finding balance, building community and sharing what is stressful and exciting about becoming a teenager. The students participated in a series of teambuilders (including the one pictured here) to practice physically finding balance before we launched into a discussion about emotionally finding balance during adolescence. We will have another Moving Traditions lesson next week, and then when we resume after Thanksgiving, we’ll launch into the second trimester of electives. Some important announcements:

• The Tikkun Olam rosters will be shared next Thursday during the first block of Yachad. Students will have their first Tikkun Olam session in their newly assigned Tikkun Olam class during the second block.
• Save the Dates, Parent-Teacher Check-Ins, Dec 7-14
• From Saturday Dec 7- Saturday Dec 14 we will hold opportunities for you to meet with your child’s teacher to hear about how the year has been going. These meetings will generally take place after Yachad classes. This week you will receive an email with further information and the link to sign up for meetings. 
• I would love for you and your family to celebrate my B Mitzvah with me on Saturday 12/21/19! Please fill out this quick RSVP form by Friday, December 6 if you plan on joining.
