Happy Monday!
Last week in Jewish Studies, we wrote wishes and prayers for our model Western Wall on a hallway bulletin board. In Torah, we read about Adam and Eve’s punishment from God for eating from the tree of knowledge. The lessons we learned are: to be responsible for our own actions, to always tell the truth, and to follow the rules we are given, even when we don’t know why we’ve been asked to follow them.
This is our display from the 50th Anniversary celebration. We researched Solomon Schechter and Martin J. Gottlieb.

On Thursday, we participated in a Lag B’Omer activity with Rabbi Olitzky and Hazzan Holzer. With extended-day kindergarten, 1st grade, and 3rd grade, we sang songs around a campfire and then enjoyed a treat of s’mores!

Spelling Blogger (Noah) – “Today in spelling, we are studying -ed and -ing, two inflected endings. “Targeted” and “targeting” are my favorite words.”
Math Blogger (Benjamin H.) – “This week in Math, we are practicing division. Here are examples: 12/3=4 and 4/1=4. We are making fact triangles to do division. The reason why we use fact triangles is because they help people in a way. They are fun to do.”
Here, we are skip counting by 3′s.

Wordly Wise Blogger (Julia) – “This week, we are on Lesson 12. On Monday, we wrote on the window. We played Jack’s Wordly Wise memory game.”

“On Thursday, we read the sandcastle story and we looked at cool sandcastles.”

On Wednesday, we had two special presentations by Ben’s wonderful grandparents! Dr. Joanne Davis performed an adorable puppet show.

Dr. Leo Davis gave a fun and educational presentational on dental health.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
