On Monday we got some exciting news! A new student was coming to look at our class today.
We were so excited to meet the new boy.
Suddenly Rabbi Lang walked in and sat down at the circle! What was he doing here?
He told us he came to learn Aleph Beis.
Everyone looked at him with funny looks- you are too old to be learning in our class!
We learned about Rabbi Akiva, he was a simple shepherd who didn't even know the Aleph Beis when he was 40 years old! Rochel promised to marry him if he would go learn Torah, but he didn't think he could. Until one day he saw how little drips of water had made a hole in the rock, if water can make a hole, surely I can learn Torah!
So he went to a cheder to learn Aleph Beis and Torah with the little children.

Rabbi Akiva learned so much Torah, he became a leader of the Jewish people, with 24,000 students.
We are all trying to be leaders who teach others about Torah and Mitzvos.
We created a Shabbos Party box so we can practice being a leader at home!
Creating a game to play, a story to tell and a treat to make!

Rabbi Akiva's students were missing one thing, Ahavas Yisroel, we gave each student a stick to break. They were able to do it in less than one second. But no one was able to break the sticks when they were together. That is what happens when we have Ahavas Yisroel, we become so much stronger!
We have been working on our Ahavas Yisroel and working together in our classroom
We are working toward 700 Mitzvos all together!
We made it to one of our milestones and enjoyed a special activity!
It is so sweet to see the kids in our class running to tell the Morah the mitzvos their friends do!
Morah Davina's car was sparkling!
Everyone was definitely feeling that summer is coming!
