Parshat Bo
This week's parsha continued the story of how the Jewish people left Egypt. We learned about the last three plagues. We all had a good laugh when Morah Avigayil described how Pharaoh ran to find Moshe in the middle of the night to beg him to take the Jews out of Mitzrayim. He didn't even take the time to change, and just went in his Pajama's!
In The Right Direction
This week we leaned all about compasses. A compass helps us know the directions North, South, East and West.
Levi Yitzchak shows the compass he made.
All compasses point North.
By rubbing our "needle" (paperclip) on a magnet,
(Elizabeth practices her needle rubbing technique)
it became magnetized for a few minutes and began to point north.
Both needles are pointed in the same direction!
We made a water compass!
While playing with some Lego's, Muka found a piece with a compass on it! she was excited :)
Magnets and More
Using magnets to make a compass was so exciting! We got another chance to explore with magnets in morning centers!
Yisroel tests the strength of the magnet in water,
using magnetic dust, paperclips and binder rings.

math Bingo for her friends
The sound we focused on this week was the letter "I"
Kindergarten tried to sound out each word, then drew a picture.
We used our word cards for a silly story game!
Community Outreach!
Preparing bags with Challah and candles.
We are taking turns visiting home bound seniors and sharing warmth and smiles!
We learned another way of contributing. Giving charity to organizations in our community. We took our Tzdaka box and we counted all the coins. Now we are going to give that money to an organization in the community.
While counting the coins, the children got to learned about the different kinds of coins and how much they are worth. (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, silver dollar, golden dollar)
Doctor's Visit
We had the privilege of joining the Gan class for Dr. Kryger's presentation. He discussed healthy habits and other interesting information.
The children were thrilled to watching him put a cast on Elizabeth!
The best lesson's are hands on!
