Dear Families,

This week was a little different, as we transitioned back from online learning to in person learning. Students and teachers alike were very happy to see each other in person, and eager to discuss the learning and games that happened online.

Students are hard at work preparing for our program on Monday. Kindergarteners finished writing their stories, practiced reading them, and were video taped. In science, we have been practicing a dance about planting seeds that you will see on Monday (it also shows off some of our yoga poses!). In Hebrew/Judaics, kids learned about Hanukkah, and how to say the brachot. We look forward to sharing their hard work with you on Monday!

Shabbat Shalom,

Dawn, Talia, Anat, and Atalya

 Music with Heidi
Kindergarteners have been gaining confidence in their music reading skills. This week, they have created their own patterns and figured out how to write the specific rhythms of a chant they know. When we were online last week, we had the chance to sing! Sometimes we can hum in class, but outright singing is a treat these days. They met our musical friend Sol Mi, and learned the Curwen hand motions for Sol Mi’s two solfège pitches.
