6th Grade News: 12/11 – 12/15/17
Happy Hanukkah!
Naomi
The sixth graders have completed their parent guides for planning a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. The guides include an explanation of what it means to become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah as well as suggestions for the ceremony and celebration. The guides come in a variety of forms, from packets to websites. Please look out for these incredible projects at next Wednesday’s 6th grade hero exhibition. For our next project each student will be writing a dvar Torah to be delivered in tefila sometime in the winter or spring. Phyllis will send out an email with dates after break.
HEBREW HERITAGE
הורים יקרים,
השבוע המשכנו את היחידה העוסקת בבגדים, העלנו את השאלה למה בבתי ספר מסויימים קיימת תלבושת אחידה? למה היא נועדה? במסגרת גיבוש עמדה בנושא קראנו טקסט העוסק בתלבושת אחידה ועבדנו על אוצר מילים חדש.
השבוע התלמידים עשו מבחן סיכום יחידה. כמו כן, השינשינים הגיעו לפעילות כייפית בנושא ביגוד.
סוף שבוע נעים,
אילנה
SCIENCE
This week, students reviewed and prepared for their end of unit assessment. However as we all have curious minds in science, they were allowed to conduct a sneak peek of an eighth grade experiment. Students enjoyed the chance to discover levels of sugar using testing solutions that change color when sugar is present. This gave them the opportunity to focus and improve proper laboratory procedures while enjoying their discoveries.

Dear parents,
This week the students in HaKbatza Aleph practiced using the infinitive and the present tense of verbs in order to agree or disagree with someone. The students practiced these structures verbally, in writing, and online.
HaKbatza Beyt practiced various verbs in the present tense while studying about Bedouins in the desert.
I wish everyone Hag Hanukkah Sameach and Shabbat Shalom!
Andreea
