May 9 & 10
We had another great week in Experiential Education!
After last week’s class learning about Lag B’Omer, Students got to experience a mini version in class. After a quick review of the holiday, students broke into two teams to see who could get the highest score in our archery range set up in the playground and then made s’mores around our mini bonfire in honor of Lag B’Omer.
Hebrew:
Students in the Gimel and Hey class continued to sharpen their Hebrew reading skills and increase their reading fluency of tefillot (prayers). They specifically worked on the blessing for an aliyah to the Torah and the Friday night kiddush. Some students also worked with partners and quizzed each other with flash cards of words commonly used in prayers.
Dalet – Students completed the end of year Hebrew assessments and worked to finish the current Ramah (level) they are working on in Mitkadem.
Hey – Students completed the end of year Hebrew assessments and worked to finish the current Ramah (level) they are working on in Mitkadem.
The Vav students continued working on learning tefillot as part of their end of year Etgar Challenge. Students have been working on reading the Ashrei, Aleinu, and portions of the silent Amidah. The goal is for students to increase their familiarity with these prayers and to know parts of the silent Amidah that they can read to themselves in Hebrew. Several students have completed the challenge and will be recognized on the last day of religious school.
