It has been a spiritual week in Room 3! We had an exciting visit to the synagogue where we observed Torahs and learned about them. The students walked up to the ark or “Aron Kodesh” (holy cabinet) to look at where the scrolls are kept. They learned the term “yad,” (hand in Hebrew) which is the pointer that is in the shape of a hand. The children now know that you follow the text in the Torah with a pointer since the writing is so small. They noticed that the scrolls are kept covered with colored fabric and decorated with crowns on the handles of the Torah. The students were able to identify and describe their experience inside the temple and what they saw. This made it easier for the children to make connections and helped them apply their language to their journal entries for Simchat Torah. A huge thank you to Avi, Aidan’s dad, who read the children a funny book at the library this week. We checked out some books for our classroom so that the children can look at them on their free time. The class is ready for our “patterns” unit. They have already started with their A-B patterns, and we are looking forward to teaching them all about it. Have a beautiful weekend and Shabbat Shalom!
