5th Grade Week of 4/16

What a week! We celebrated Yom Haatzmaut on Thursday. We and our 4th grade friends turned our classrooms into Israeli cities, ancient and modern. The 5th Grade also did an exceptional job performing a play for our whole school tekes on the last 70 years of Israel’s history. Thank you, Nir, for all the hard work you put in to making Thursday amazing! Please enjoy our classroom updates, and have a good weekend!

HUMANITIES: Another successful week in Humanities! We are wrapping up our whole class text, and are looking forward to future writing assignments by introducing the art of expository writing. Students are working really hard on their China Museum projects, and are yet again showing why they are an exceptionally determined group. Shabbat Shalom!-Tony
