Morah Aviva’s EC4A class began their Parsha portion of the curriculum with the very first story in the Torah - Bereishit. Morah Aviva explained that Bereishit means “In the beginning". The children worked on a special globe mobile of the six days of creation and Shabbat, the day we rest. Morah also taught her friends some special creation songs in English and Hebrew. Additionally, the class resumed their Alphabet curriculum with the letter “C”, and practiced writing the letter on mini dry erase boards during circle time. The children were also thrilled to resume Share and Tell and brought some interesting objects and foods that begin with letter “C”. The class has also moved forward with their Alef Bet curriculum and are working on the letter Gimel.

This week Fourth grade students in Ms. Morrison's class experimented with how sound travels. They used a balloon to measure if voice makes vibrations in the air. They found that the balloon moved more if they used a low voice than compared to a high voice. The students were very interested in trying other sounds besides just their voice, so they extended it by testing it with instruments. The class found that the instruments only made the balloon vibrate a little.

This week 7th grade students in Mrs. Rosenzweig's math class practiced how to simplify algebraic expressions by working on different stations which included mazes, puzzles, and drill sheets.

This week our juniors and seniors had the opportunity to meet with Gabe Ivker from the international nonprofit Israel education organization, StandWithUs, to discuss how to navigate difficult conversations on social media in relation to the conflict in Israel.

This week students in Morah Tsippi's EC2B class experienced Parshat Bereishit by decorating individual Six Days of Creation books to illustrate what Hashem created each day of the week. The children had a great time stamping their handprints, gluing, dotting, sticking, and getting to use lots of art mediums and various fine motor skills.

This week Morah Sandy's EC3A class started at ”the beginning“ with Parshat Bereishit. The class made their own booklets representing the 6 days of creation and the 7th day of Shabbat rest. They also learned that bet is the first letter of Bereishit and sang a new song describing creation.

Seventh grade students in Moreh Ido's honors Chumash class worked on group projects depicting how the 12 tribes of Bnei Yisrael camped during their desert journey.

This week students in Ms. Morrison's 2nd grade class combined music and spelling. The students took turns playing the xylophone as they spelled their spelling words. The students paid close attention to if the word had just an A, AI or AY combination in the word. They loved making music while studying!

This week, the high school's Better to Serve lunch and learn session was honored to host Mr. Jay Hamburger, a dedicated advocate for the homeless in Houston. During the session, students gained insight into the complex issue of poverty, explored actionable ways to support homeless individuals, and delved into the various levels of tzedaka.

Last week Morah Rachel's 4th grade Hebrew class came together to celebrate Simchat Torah with excitement and creativity! The students crafted special flags and even constructed mini Torah scrolls from pretzels and fruit-roll ups, adding a delicious spin to the festivities. The class had a great time preparing for the hakafot they would hear in shul listening and dancing to songs.
