Dear Parents,
The children were given parts for the Family Service on Friday, December 11, 2015. If your child will not be attending, please let me know so the part can be given to another student.
All the props made by our class came out really well. Finishing touches were made today and the final touches will be made next week.
Rabbi Meyer continued the story of the Jewish people with G-d's test for Abraham. Could Abraham find 10 righteous people in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? The answer is he could not and the cities were destroyed. Story continues next week...
In music with Spencer,, all the students were given parts and we had a long practice for the children to learn them. I am very proud of our class. They are doing such a good job!
We did not have Movement through Hebrew today. Morah Esther had a conference.
Our Tzedakah box is filling up! Thank you! The money will be used to buy Chanukah presents for 10 families this year.
See you next Sunday!

Hebrew Through Movement
Hi Parents,
Yesterday the schedule allowed me to work with the Gan/Aleph (K/1) students separately from Kitah Bet (Grade 2). It was my first chance to assess what the younger students are picking up, and I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Here are some of the words I think they know if you ever feel like playing around with this at home: lakoom=stand up, lashevet=sit down, lalechet=to walk, la'atzor=to stop, larootz=to run, likfotz=to jump, l'histovev=to spin. If nothing else, it's a great way to get exercise with your children! No class next week, as I'll be preparing the Kitah Vav (Grade 6) for their class service, so I'll look forward to working with them again on the 22nd.
L'hitraot,
Emily Andreano

Dear Parents,
The props for our Family Service being created by our class are looking good! The children are having fun painting, gluing and glittering!
Each week doing the service with Rabbi Meyer, each child is getting used to sitting and listening. The service is geared for the children but also interesting for the adults.
We practiced our songs for the Family Service on Friday, December 11. If your child cannot attend, please let me or Liz know.
Morah Esther in Hebrew through Movement is getting our class immersed in the Hebrew language.
The students today asked to hear the book Something from Nothing by Phoebe Gilman. A Jewish folktale about the recycling of a baby blanket to the last incarnation of the blanket..a story.
Our Tzedakah money is going to help buy Chanukah gifts for families who are in need. Families are welcome to go shopping with Liz.
Hope it is a good week for all.
Shalom,
Morah Cindy

Dear Parents,
Our morning started with our first cooking class with Morah Allison. The children learned the rules of being in the kitchen; Stay away from the stove even if it isn't on, we look with our eyes not our hands and we need to listen to directions before we start any cooking project. For our first class, the children had fun decorating cookies in honor of Chanukah. Best part of cooking is eating what we made!!
Rabbi Meyer led a musical service. He explained that the beginning of the service is a time to forget what we had been thinking of and begin to get ready to pray.
Music with Spencer is going well with the children learning the songs for the family service on December 11, 2015. If your child cannot attend the service, please let me know.
Our class loves Hebrew through Movement! The students are slowly getting used to hearing directions in Hebrew.
Thank you for all the Tzedakah! Our class hasn't decided which charity we will donate to. There are so many wonderful organizations! If you have a suggestion, please feel to let me know.
See you next Sunday!
Shalom,
Morah Cindy

Hebrew Through Movement
Hi Parents,
Today and last week the Gan, Alef, and Bet classes had class together because of limited available time as they prepare for their class service. This makes for a rather large class, with diverse exposure to the Hebrew language, but most students are very game about observing their fellow students and the teacher aides to remind themselves of words they may have forgotten. Some parents have told me that their children are remembering certain words at home, and this should increase as the year progresses. I have not forgotten my promise to post videos, but with all the students together, our class often resembles a mosh pit filled with extremely small partiers. My aides and I will work on getting some good close-ups of them in action, though, we promise! Please don't hesitate to email me at rjandr@aol.com if you've any comments or questions. With Liz's permission, I also welcome visitors to our class any time.
When you drop your children off this Sunday, please don't forget that there is a meeting at 9 a.m. in the Social Hall for you to express your desires vis-a-vis your child's religious school education. Have a great week!
