This is a big week in kindergarten! The children will learn the shape and sound of their first vowel, A. This vowel will help them on their reading journey, because now they will be able to make words. They will do many projects over the next two weeks that will help them learn to read and write the letter. They will also make their first letter book that reinforces the short a sound, and they will bring it home to read to the family. Our discussions will continue about bears, habitats, and hibernation, focusing this week on Grizzly bears. We will also have a visit from Project Teva instructors who, with the children, will make recycled paper out of our scraps. If your child has a stuffed bear that he or she would like to bring in and leave here for a few weeks in our Bear Museum, please put their name on it and send it in with your child. We will use these for activities such as sorting, measuring, and weighing,
From Grade Two:
The second graders have been learning about bees and the plight of the bee population. Moved by the issues surrounding bees' survival, they decided to write letters to our senators and governor about laws governing pesticide use and the shipping of bee colonies. Inspired further by their exploration of the bee population, they have launched a fundraiser for Heifer International to purchase bees. The fundraising project was presented in an entertaining and informative skit to the entire school at Friday's assembly. To make a donation please visit the second grade fundraising page: https://fundraise.heifer.org/fundraise/team?ftid=41388
In Hebrew, the class will begin learning the letter "chet", its sounds and several vocabulary words. We will continue discussing "Chanukah," creating projects, and learning about the history, traditions. and blessings.

We continue to work on "T'filot" (prayers) almost every day that we meet.
