Dear Parents,
We have been having discussions about President's Day and what it means to be President. We have had pretend elections in the classroom, so the children get a feel how elections take place. We also went to visit Rabbi Josh in Plotkin chapel. He took the Torah out of the Ark and unrolled it. We saw that the Torah is very long, it is written in Hebrew letters and we use a "yad" to help us keep our place when we read from it. Rabbi Josh old us that the Torah is 3000 years old and it tells us stories about the Jewish people, stories about the holidays and rules about how the Jewish people should behave, like the Ten Commandments. On Friday we went to the Art Lab and the children worked on an art project for Father’s and Grandfather’s week and learned new drawing techniques. It was lots of fun and the children loved being in a new room. Shabbat Shalom, Anne and Vera Reminders: -February 15th: no school President's Day -February 16th: no school, Professional Development Day -Father’s and Grandfather’s Week: February 22nd to February 25th. -Friday February 26th: Father’s and Grandfather’s Brunch at 10:00 a.m. -Friday February 26th, All school Shabbat at 11:00 a.m. -February 27th: Wise School Gala -March 3rd: Picture Day
