Wednesday, March 9 Highlights!

Our fourth and fifth graders began their evening as they continued to plan their Purim Carnival booths during an energetic and fun Kitah Kef. In the second hour, fourth grade made yummy Hamentaschen in Judaic Studies as they learned the blessings for all types of foods - including Hamentaschen! In Hebrew, the fourth graders played a game with tricky Hebrew words and worked on some fun pages in their Purim booklets.
The fifth graders continued discussing the various types of mitzvot: tikkun olam, g'milut hasadim, kashrut, tzedakah, hachnasat orchim and bikkur holim. Everyone wrote down the different ways they could perform these mitzvot on a daily basis.
Sixth grade focused on Purim today in Hebrew. In the first hour, they reviewed the mitzvot and traditions of the holiday, and discussed its role in the Midrash. In Judaic Studies, everyone participated in reading and discussing biblical stories. Learning more about Jerusalem, they studied subjects like the Kotel and how marriages are performed and perceived.
The seventh graders continued with their cohorts in the first hour, and joined up with the sixth grade in second hour as they enjoyed Kitah Kef together. They continued working on their awesome booths for the Purim Carnival.
Remember - Wednesday, March 23rd at 5:30-6:15 pm for Purim Shpiel and 6:15-8:00 pm for Carnival!! Until then, have a wonderful Spring Break!!
