Miss Mikki’s Kindergarten
class started their day by reading "Maccabee: The Story of
Hanukkah" by Hilda Balsley. Students spoke about the book’s refrain:
"Sometimes it only takes a few, who know what's right, and do it
too." Afterwards the class had fun painting dreidels, making Hanukkah
cards and Hanukkah decorations.
The First Grade went on a field trip to Miami Beach for their Family Program on Sunday. Children and parents alike had a wonderful time!
Mrs. Rodriguez’s Second Grade class learned about Lashon Ha-Ra (an evil tongue) and how words can
wound. Students discussed how the Torah teaches us not to gossip and why.
During Family Tefillah everyone
enjoyed a rockin’ concert with Josh Nelson!
In Third Grade students
learned new verbs like lesovev (to spin) as well as the word sivivon (dreidel).
Then, students practiced forming phrases using their new vocabulary. The class
also sang Chanukah songs and learned more Chanukah vocabulary words like levivah
(latke) and sufganiah (jelly doughnut). Chag Urim Sameach Lechulam!
Happy Festival of Lights from all of the children, parents and third grade
teachers.
In Mrs. Bulbin’s Fourth Grade class students played a
reading game with their vet and vov words. Fourth graders tested each other on
singing the Chanukah blessings. Children also completed a page in their
Chanukah booklet on identifying terms in Hebrew.
Sarah’s Fifth Grade Judaic Studies class started a new unit dedicated to Ometz Lev – or
courage in Hebrew. Students read the story of “David and Goliath” and made
advertising slogans and symbols to better promote the story’s message.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone next Sunday, December 16th for all our classroom Chanukah parties. Thank you in advance to those who've volunteered to bring in food, drinks, plasticware, etc.
Happy Chanukah from your Temple Judea Religious School Community :)
