Our 7th graders hosted a holiday party for residents of MACTown. MACTown's primary mission is to improve the lives and further the independence of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in South Florida. We had 10 MACTown residents join us for dancing, latkes, picture frames and fun! Thanks to Lisa Heiblum for coordinating this awesome program!
Here's what was happening in the other classes:
4th grade: We discussed the metaphor of Noah "walking with God" and about assigning God anthropomorphic characteristics. We discussed the Theme word "covenant" and the number of times it was used. Our Davar Ha Yom was "sacrifices" which was quickly guessed in the hangman fame. In Hebrew we sang the Chanukkah blessings and talked about their meanings. We played the two chanukah games with reading Hebrew syllables and matching Chanukah themes.
5th grade: Today the 5th grade had a quiz in Hebrew on the Shema and Hebrew roots. The quiz was difficult for most students. We reviewed the material afterwards and they were able to understand it. It is important for students to be able to read prayers and understand what they mean. Students can easily review the material on the website. EVERYONE should try to log in. If you can't, please ask the school office for help. Next Wednesday, the 5th grade will have it's last class of the semester and a Chanukah party. A sign up sheet is posted outside room 3. We will miss the Coral Gables Elementary students. Have a great Chanukah and winter break!
6th Grade Today we practiced the Chanukkah candle blessings. Wealso practiced the Aleinu and Ashrei. For the first time we read interesting articles from the Zim Zoom magazine about teen life in Israel. In Judaic Studies we played games to review the information we covered through the semester and then planned for our party.
