Parshat Pekudei: Blending it all Together


In this week's Parsha we learnt that when the clouds of Hashem came down on the Mishkan it was a sign from Hashem that the Jewish people need to stop traveling and when the clouds of Hashem left the Mishkan it was a sign to continue traveling.
In class we spoke about how today we don't have the Mishkan and the Bais Hamikdash yet, but we do have the ability to make our home or our room into a Mikdash.


When we learn Torah and do Mitzvos we draw Hashem into this world and make Him stick to us like a magnet. The world is the bag of water, the magnetic sand is our Mitzvos and the magnet is Hashem. But when we do the opposite we make Hashem feel uncomfortable and want to leave us.

Dovi and Evan are modelling for us how it feels to be so close to Hashem when we learn Torah and do Mitzvos, so very  tight.

Blending It All Together

Last week Mitzvah Menchies practiced caring for the earth, by reusing our plastic drinking cups for the whole day. We marked this off on a chart. This week we got our cup-related prize! Our own personal smoothies!!



Choosing the fruit to go inside can be hard, there are so many sweet options!
Evan presses the button to blend his fruits together!


This is the life!!

Reading In Hebrew 

I'm so proud of each and every child in our class. All of our kids are blending, reading words and sentences. I know how hard they work to practice their homework. Keep it up!!

Vowels And Consonants

We played a fun game where each child was given a bunch of letters and was invited to sort them into vowels and consonant.

Rozie set the letters in the right order and Malka set the pictures to match the beginning sounds of  the letters.

Aleph Beis Adventures!

Faiga was so excited that we finally got to the Pey/Fey week!
Fey is the first letter of her name.
Underneath one of the cups is a pom-pom!
Read the letter, lift up the cup and claim your prize.

Getting in the Adar spirit with a rousing game of  aleph-beis freeze dance!


We explored the letter "S" this week.
We took our discussion of gravity and friction outside to slides!
We pushed different things down slides and timed which ones were faster or slower.
Recording our findings on a chart!
We wondered...
Will it slide? Fast or Slow? Will it Stop? What Shape?


Reverse Bingo with sunflower seeds. 
if you have the number, eat the seed!
