What a wonderful and busy month of holidays we had! It was filled with meaningful and fun learning experiences about the High Holidays. During Rosh Hashanah, we explored the traditions and foods, and when we made sweet apple-shaped cookies, we got a little messy but couldn’t wait to taste them! recipe link

In the period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we listened to the shofar, learned about his unique sounds, and even played a matching game, pairing up socks and hanging them on a clothesline.

On Sukkot, we discovered what makes a sukkah kosher, and discussed why we sit in it and enjoy our lunches together in the schoolyard sukkah. We wrapped up our activities by reading Dr. Seuss’s story “Rules of the Sukkah”, and in groups, we created our own “Dream Sukkah.” Additionally, we had a fantastic time enjoying delicious treats and engaging in fun activities during our “Sukkah Hop”.

A month has passed since we began the school year. A month when we got to know each other, learned, and laughed together. During this month, we reviewed material from grade one and also started learning new things. We went over the letters, vowel sounds, and expanded our vocabulary. We progressed from reading sounds to reading sentences and short stories. We practiced answering questions orally and in writing and learned about Rosh Hashanah.

We engaged in reading and writing activities, fun games, and even baked an apple pie together!

Attached are some pictures and a few resources to help you practice what we’ve learned in class.

Wishing you Chag Samech and Shana Tova Umetuka!

Dear Parents,
Inspired by the story “The Egg That Didn’t Want to Be an Egg,” or as it’s known in Hebrew, “הביצה שהתחפשה,” our students embarked on a journey of creativity and imagination.
In this charming tale, the egg decides to “dress up” as a balloon, a clock, or even a ping-pong ball.
After reading the story together, each child was given the opportunity to create their own egg character. The results were nothing but magical!
