Goodbye, 8th Grade!
Science
In the final weeks of science this year, we conducted our final project. We explored the morality of science. Students selected a science concept that could morally be argued against. For example, cloning, nuclear weapons, or self-driving cars. Students decided if they were pro or con and presented the class with their arguments.
We have explored so much science this year and I know these students will face high school with a strong sense of confidence. This has been an amazing year, and I am so proud of all their achievements this year.
Good Luck Class of 2021

Dear parents,
I cannot believe this is the last blog I’m writing this year! Your children have come such a long way. Starting the year nervous about learning Hebrew with a new teacher, they learned that they are able to write and act out skits in Hebrew, lead daily conversations on a variety of topics, learn songs in Hebrew and even write their own songs. It was with such joy that I saw them engage in daily conversations in Hebrew in Israel, learning and using new expressions and slang. I am so proud of them for embarking on this learning journey this year, and coming out on the other side stronger in their confidence and knowledge.
The last two years have been challenging for all of us. As a result of the pandemic, my family has had to relocate unexpectedly. If saying good bye to a work place that one loves can be difficult, saying goodbye to a second home is even harder.
I will miss the support I found over the years in Senesh parents, in my colleagues in the staff and administration. In short, I will miss being part of the Senesh community. Your children have always kept me on my toes, brought joy and laughter into my life and taught me so much!
But, as Doctor Seuss advised, rather than lamenting that it’s over, I am happy that I was so fortunate to have had these fourteen years.
I wish everyone a well deserved relaxed summer and a smooth transition to high school
Andreea
