Thursday, Oct. 2 and Monday, Oct. 6

The students have been working hard on their "Discovering the World of the Bible" webquests. They are learning about ancient artifacts and how to locate them on a map and a timeline. For Monday, 10/20, please have your children complete their research for "Discovering the World of the Bible" webquest. This includes a graphic organizer on ancient artifacts, a map, and a timeline, which can all be found in the Tanakh/Torah section of their binders. The website with more directions and resources is www.tinyurl.com/kirsbible. The login is congkirs and the password is israel1948.

They have also been learning a lot about the various holidays that we are celebrating this month. On Thursday, the students learned about the concept of atoning and thought about some things that they can do better in the future. This Thursday, 10/9, we will have a family Sukkot event in the Sukkah from 4-6 PM. All are welcome!

We do not meet next Monday, 10/13, nor next Thursday, 10/16. Because of this, I am asking that the students do some work at home so we are not too behind when we next get together.  Please have them continue to practice their Hebrew reading skills for 5 minutes/day, 5 days/week. This can be in the Kriah section of the Mitkadem packet or in another text at their level. Some of their reading practice can also involve creating and studying the flashcards that are included in their Mitkadem packets. There are 3 purple pages: one in the Mitkadem Otzar Milim section, and 2 in their folders. Please cut out the flashcards and keep them together with a rubber band, paper clip, or baggie.

Chag Sameach!
