Thursday, Feb. 12 and February Break

On Thursday, the students created projects, using the KIRS iPads, to illustrate a scene of their choice from a Bible story featuring animals (Jonah and the whale, Noah's ark, or David the Shepherd). Many of them chose to use the great app ArtStudio. All of the projects came out beautifully and I hope to share them with you soon!
The students also began preparing for leading services in the Main Sanctuary. Please have them practice their assigned prayer over break.
On Feb. 28, the 4th graders will lead the Torah Service.
Ein Kamocha: Caleb
Av HaRachamim: Anya
Vayehi Binsoa: Anya
Shema: Caleb
L'cha Adonai: Caleb, Anya, and Matthew

On March 15, the 5th graders will lead Musaf, with my assistance.

Recordings of all of these prayers can be found here: https://audioboom.com/Sari_Fein116

Additional homework over break includes:

• Practice reading Hebrew 5 minutes/day, 5 days/week for Mitkadem
• Complete Parshat HaShavua assignment for Mishpatim
• Read and complete the activity packet for "Absalom wants to be King"

I realize that this is an unusually heavy homework load, but unfortunately it is necessary due to the many snow days we have taken. Your child completing these assignments ensures that we will be able to complete the curriculum in a meaningful way. If you have any questions or concerns about any of the assignments, please feel free to contact me.

Have a great February Break!
