Thursday, March 19

On Thursday, the students continued to work on "David Escapes," a chapter from the book of Kings. We discussed how both David and Absalom were tricky figures, and made predictions about who would triumph in the end. 
We also began a new unit on the mitzvah of "Shmirat HaLashon"--guarding one's tongue. We talked about what this means, and what some examples of positive language and negative language were. We watched a video from Kid President on positive things we should say more often. The students really enjoyed it and asked to watch it again--it's below if you'd like to share it with them!
