AWESOME First Wednesday!

It was great having all of the 4th-7th graders back at Temple Judea!! Here are some highlights from the first day:
4th graders met their Hebrew and Judaic Studies teachers! In Hebrew it was time to review the letters and vowels and start to get in the mood for Rosh Hashanah. In Judaic Studies we played a few games to get to know each other and created rules that will make for a happy environment.
5th graders had the chance to play Temple Judea bingo - asking each other all kinds of fun questions (and working on listening skills). In Hebrew, the class discussed their expectations and goals for the year.
6th graders spent the afternoon talking about what they would be learning this year, and what knowledge about Hebrew and Israel they are bringing to this year of study!
7th graders got into their class with a number of ice-breaker games - to reconnect with each other and the 7th grade teaching team. The group then reflected on what they have learned since they began school in preschool and ended with what they wanted to learn in the coming year.
We can already tell it is going to be a GREAT year!
