This week students in Ms. Morrison's 4th grade class continued their literary journey through 'Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing' by the acclaimed author, Judy Blume. The students displayed remarkable teamwork and cooperation as they took turns reading aloud and actively listened to one another. Following their reading session, the class engaged in a lively discussion, unraveling the key events, grasping new vocabulary, and diving into the vivid settings within the chapter.

In conjunction with Parshat Lech Lecha, Morah Aviva’s EC4A class did a unit dedicated to transportation this week. After an introduction to the concept of travel, the class had a lively discussion, resulting in chart featuring various modes of transportation. Each child also crafted their own transportation-themed books, fostering growth in their knowledge of shapes, early writing skills, drawing and pasting techniques. The Math Center was abuzz with three sets of geo-shapes for patterning, creative play, and shape identification. The class also delved into the letter "E", with excavators and elephants fascinating the class. Lastly, everyone had fun decorating star shapes with sparkly star stickers, and gluing sand on a large paper as part of the class parsha mural that brought to life Hashem's promise to Avraham that he will have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.

Students in Mr. Simon's Third grade class learned about the Tools of the Trade in Meteorology. They studied how tools such as barometers, thermometers, hygrometers, windsocks and weather vanes help us better understand the components of what makes a blustery day! Pictured above, the students are studying the weather tools so that they can deliver weather forecasts just like on television! Some of them even made a film with their first weather forecast!

This week Morah Hannah's EC4B class enjoyed visiting Mr. Matt's outdoor classroom, our flourishing Torah garden! During their engaging hands-on STEAM class, the students began learning the art of tending garden beds.

This week Morah Tsippi's EC2B class delved into Parshat Lech Lecha. The children discovered the promise Hashem made to Avraham, that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the ground. Each child created their own rendition of the starry sky and sandy earth, bringing Hashem's words to life through art and imagination.

This week students in Ms. Morrison's 2nd grade class dived into the intricacies of the long O sound. They honed their pronunciation and spelling skills, practicing words that feature this unique sound.
