Wednesday Highlights - May 11, 2011

Fourth graders celebrated Israel as they danced some new Israeli dances and sang Israeli songs this evening. They also tested each other on their Shabbat blessings and studied the ten commandments of Shavuot.
Fifth grade discussed the funeral process as part of their lifecycle curriculum. Everyone made their own copies of Jewish mourning manuals, and wrote eulogies for deceased family members, friends and well-known celebrities. Overall the students learned the importance of the step by step process of what happens when someone passes away.
Our sixth graders reviewed information for the quiz this coming Sunday in Judaic Studies. In Hebrew, the students focused on the word kadosh (holy) in their prayers as they discussed the importance of this concept and explored its meaning.
Seventh grade continued with their cohorts in the first hour. In second hour, they joined the sixth grade for a Kitah Kef that demonstrated their knowledge about Israel!
