Raya’s Class:
This Saturday we got familiar with the first Torah story, Adam & Eve. We read and acted out the story of Adam and Eve and talked about God being like a parent to them and how all humans are partners with God.
This week we spoke about the importance of Simchat Torah and designed an aron (where the Torahs are safely kept) to show how we care for such an important part of our tradition!
This past week we learned about Sukkot! In class, we read some stories about sukkot, talked about how we would decorate our dream sukkah and who we would invite to it.
Students explored why we have 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to say we are sorry and explored the importance of making plans.
Students continued exploring the connection between Rosh Hashanah and Genesis/Bereshit through diving into the creation of the world. Through their own stories of beginnings, hearing a story about how Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the world and activities to reflect on how birthdays are celebrated, students deepened their understanding of Rosh Hashanah and continued bonding as a class. In Hebrew students played with the words יום הולדת, להוריד, להרים , שנה טובה (good year, to raise, to lower, birthday).
This past week we got to know each other through many fun name games and exploring how to make a welcoming environment!
This week our Kindergartners reviewed what they’ve learned this year!
Last Saturday our Kindergartners continued learning about Israel!
Last Saturday our Kindergartners continued their unit Passover, exploring the seder plate!
