Parshat Tetzaveh: To Rise Above

Parshat Tetzaveh: To Rise Above

In this weeks Parsha, Hashem tells Moshe how to make olive oil for the Menorah in the Mishkan (Hashem's house in the desert). The olive oil was made from the best olives and from the first drops of oil.

*Ask your child if they remember how the Menorah was made* 

Oil goes into the Menorah to light up the Mishkan and the whole world.
We learned that oil is special because when you put it in with different liquids it always rises to the top.

Menucha takes a closer look at a bag filled with oil and water.

We can also be like oil! If our friends are doing something not right, we can rise above and decide not to follow.

We learned abut the different clothing that the Kohanim (priests) wore. The Kohanim wore 4 special pieces of clothing and the Kohen Gadol wore 8.

Their special clothing reminded them about how they needed to act.

On Shabbos and Yom Tov we wear special clothing to remind us about Shabbos. 

We also wear special clothing during the week. When a we wear a Kippah, or dress, or Tzitzis it reminds us to listen to Hashem and do Mitzvos.

Landforms

We had so much fun this week finishing up our landform unit!

We proudly displayed all of our beautiful land-form models in the classroom for everyone to see. We had a blast creating each one.

We wanted to make this project last forever so we made a land-form book!!
Thank you Morah Davina for putting the land-form book together!!!
