Dear Parents,
It has been a short week here at school. We are finishing our unit on Martin Luther King Jr. The children have done a new journal page and they are getting better and better at recalling details. We are looking ahead to Tu B'Shevat and our class celebration on Monday. We are learning about The Birthday of the Trees and what it means. We are also learning how this holiday is celebrated in Israel as it marks the beginning of spring. We are still observing our seeds and a lot of them have sprouted, some have stems and even leaves coming out. The children are excited to see their seeds changing every day. Shabbat Shalom, Anne & Vera Reminders:

Dear Parents,
This week at school the children are learning and defining Martin Luther King Jr.'s big words: Peace, Equality, Together, Care, Love, and Freedom. We are learning what it means to love people for who they are. We understand that every person deserves to be treated equally and included in our lives. We are also doing science in reference to Tu B'Shevat. We have planted beans in a clear bag and the children can observe the seeds as they sprout. As a real scientist would do, we discussed a hypothesis about what might happen to the seeds and how long it would take for them to grow. As we observe the bags every day, we will be able to know if our hypotheses are correct.

We hope that all of you had an enjoyable break with your children. This new year is off to a great start and the children are rested and ready to learn. We started this week by learning about Dr Martin Luther King Jr. We presented him to the children and talked about his story. We are discussing the events that led him to be famous and remembered every year. We are learning about the differences between people but that despite those, people need to be treated the same. This is what Martin Luther King Jr was fighting for. A fight that he fought with love! The “Other is Me”, which is the theme of the school this year is perfectly demonstrated in the lesson. We wanted to thank Carolyn for coming in the class and doing an art project with the children! As some of you may know we have been flooded this week but thanks to our hard working crew we were able to go back to our class in no time.Our friends in rooms 7,8 and 9 welcomed us in their rooms on Wednesday!!! it was a busy day. Shabbat Shalom, Anne and Vera Reminders: -January 18: MLK day, no school -January 19: Professional development day, no school |
