On Thursday, the students took a Hebrew pre-test to assess what they already know and what they need to work on. This will ensure that I can challenge them at the right level throughout the year. I am grateful for the Mitkadem program for making that even easier!
They also began to work on a webquest entitled "Discovering the World of the Bible." If you would like to check it out, or if your child ever wants to work on it at home, you can find the website here:
http://discoveringtheworldofthebible.wikispaces.com/. The login is congkirs and the password is israel1948.
Two items to note:

• Please ask your child to bring headphones to KIRS while we are working on this project. If he or she does not have headphones, please let me know and I will bring extra.
• Please note that we do not have class on Thursday 9/25 nor Jr. Congregation on Saturday 9/27, in observance of Rosh HaShanah. However, I will be making my debut at leading on Musaf that Shabbat morning, and if you can make it, it would be great to see some friendly faces in the congregation! It would also be a great opportunity for the 5th graders to see what they will be able to do by the end of the year.

To start a conversation with your child about KIRS: Ask them what they learned about the biblical world.
