Tuesday was
a very special day in the Green Room, as we welcomed Morah Gitty to our
class! Morah Gitty comes to us from
Montreal, and she will serve as our Judaic Studies intern for this year. We’re looking forward to all that she will
bring to our class! Below is a photo of
Morah Gitty explaining what a mezuzah is, and why we find it in the door way.
Sadly, upon
Morah Gitty’s arrival, Morah Courtney had to make the move down the hall to the
Peach Room. We miss her so much, but we’re grateful that
she didn’t go TOO FAR away.
We spent
this week beginning to get ready for Rosh Hashanah! During one activity, students were invited to
draw a picture of apples and shofars!
We had a
wonderful science exploration activity in which we cut open and investigated
the inside of three different types of apples.
We were amazed to observe that three apples that looked very different on
the outside looked very similar on the inside.
Students were invited to sample all three apples, and we discussed our
observations on how each kind of apple tasted a little different. After sampling the apples, we cut into a
lemon, and some of our friends tried eating the lemon. Does your child want a SWEET or SOUR New Year?
Green Room
friends got to hold a REAL pomegranate!
Thank you Morah Courtney for bringing it to us from California!
Next
week, we will continue to prepare for Rosh Hashanah!
Shabbat
Shalom!
