Chalav students and their first grade partners shared their work at the science fair this morning. It was wonderful to have a number of parents and grandparents joining us as well.
Poetry is everywhere in Chalav. Children just finished writing their second poems. These poems focused on “wonderings” that the children have about the world around them. The children also have been busy illustrating the poems of others. They are using their schema to “make pictures in their heads” based on the poems and then translating those images onto paper.
We had a wonderful trip to see Seussical this week at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. The play was produced by Theaterworks an organization that prepares live theater for children around the country. We have two field trips planned for next week, one to the model matzah factory and another to the library. April is clearly a very busy month.
In math, chalav students completed our unit on measurement. We practiced measuring items in the classroom with inch tiles, rulers and measuring tape. The children learned to convert inches into feet and vice versa.
Hebrew is blooming in our classroom. The children are practicing reading and writing and growing their Hebrew vocabulary with Hamorah Dalia.
Chalav students especially enjoy acting out stories in Hebrew during their time with our shlichim from Israel.
In Fundations, we have continued to work on learning to read vowel teams and the suffixes “ed” and “ing.”
Shabbat Shalom,
Hamorah Joanne
