Oops I'm sorry!

Yom Kippur is in the air in our classroom!
We learned how it's okay to make a mistake but what do we do next? Hashem gifted us with Yom Kippur when we are just like angels and we can clear our slate of all of our mistakes.

We learned what we do and what we don't do on the holy day of Yom Kippur. 
Leah, making her own slippers since we don't wear leather shoes on Yom Kippur.


Working hard on our Yom Kippur folder.


The story of Yona that we read on Yom Kippur came to life as we acted it out. 
It is a true example of how Hashem helps us rectify our mistakes.

Yedidya, making a big fish with Yona hiding inside of it.


Some people wear white on Yom Kippur representing angels, Jack painted with white paint and Yossi practicing Hebrew letters in white salt.


Pr-k Kria had fun making letters in shaving cream!


Kindergarten Kria touching up on our tricky similar letters using straws to divide similar letters.


This week we celebrated Vav Tishrei, 
the yartzeit of Rebetzin Chana. The Mother of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

She is famous for making ink out of berries so her husband could write his holy words /commentary of Torah while he was exiled in Kastrama. 

Her dedication to the Rebbe, and to Judaism is an inspiration for all of us.
The children enjoyed making their own ink out of blackberries! 
And then practiced writing their own Hebrew Alef bet 
using a feather and the ink they had made!



Chana, who is named after Rebbetzin Chana wrote her name.


Learning math using apples to help us understand addition. 


This week we began a new language arts curriculum called "Capit". The children get 15-20 minutes to do their lesson/work on an ipad. The lessons are interactive and assess if the students know the sounds of each letter before they can move on to a higher level! 




Aftercare fun making cheerio necklaces!
