November 5
We reviewed the story of Noah and then moved on to the Tower of Babel. We talked about communicating in different languages. I asked the students to name all the languages they have heard of. Then, we read The Tower and discussed the story. Next, the students went to the playground and worked together to build a tower without talking - it was not easy, but they did a great job!! Great teamwork!
After, the class met Rabbi Kornsgold in the chapel. She showed us the Torah. Each student had the chance to see inside the Torah, Students saw the Hebrew letters, learned that they should not touch the parchment with their hands and learned about the Torahs "clothing".
When we returned to the classroom, the students drew pictures of the Tower of Babel.
At the end of the morning, we talked (or babbled) using nonsense words. We tried to figure out what each person was saying. They really enjoyed this!
It was another great morning!
