June 11 – June 15

Science 

This final week in science we applied our learned engineering skills from this course to an egg drop activity. Students had to select 12 of 20 possible materials in order to drop an egg from a height without breaking. This interactive final activity allowed the class to enjoy the building process one last time. We laughed when some eggs did not survive the fall and were surprised at others that did survive after a huge thump sound. This year has been filled with successes and growth of science abilities. We cannot wait to continue hands on science next year in 8th grade!

Humanities 

Wow! What a year! From Julius Caesar to the Renaissance Fair, I’ve loved working with this class. I have truly enjoyed seeing the academic and personal growth. Thank you for all your support and communication. Have a relaxing and fun summer!

Math

The students have accomplished a lot this year! It’s been an unforgettable year with the 7th graders. Have a wonderful summer!

הורים יקרים,

במהלך השבוע סיכמנו את הפעילות שערכנו במהלך השנה, חגגנו שנה של עבודה והתקדמות אישית. כל אחד מהתלמידים כתב את המטרות והשאיפות שלו בלימוד עברית לשנה הבאה.

רציתי להודות לכם אישית על תמיכתם לאורך השנה ועל החשיבות שאתם מקנים ללימודי עברית, בלעדיכם  לא הייתה נרשמת כזו הצלחה והתלהבות בקרב התלמידים, תודה רבה!!!

שיהיה לכם קיץ נפלא, מלא חוויות, עשיה וסיפוק.

נתראה בשנה הבאה,

אילנה  

Judaic Studies

We spent our last week celebrating the year’s many accomplishments – reflecting together on our studies, baking and eating s’mores, and getting ourselves ready for next year. Students had a chance to bring together their year of learning by responding to some of our essential questions:

Are you B’nai Yisrael responsible for their immature behavior? Are you?

Why do people complain? Why is complaining so annoying for those it’s directed at (God, Moshe, parents, teachers, etc.)?

Hebrew

Dear 7th grade parents,
