Dear Kindergarten Parents הורים יקרים,

It was great to have you all in our Sukkah for breakfast yesterday. This week was a very busy week in our classroom, as we learn about Sukkot. The students made a long paper chain to decorate our Sukkah that we built in class. Each student made their own lulav, etrog, hadas, and arava. In addition, they learned the bracha for the lulav.
Today, the kids met with the eighth graders in the Sukkah, and together, they built a candy Sukkah. They learned the song “Patish Masmer” and “Sukati HaSukkah.”
Hebrew Vocabulary:
Patish
Masmer
Sukkah
Banim
Banot
Lulav
Arava
Hadas
Shabbat Shalom,
Anat and Tal

 

From Music Teacher Heidi Siegell

It has been such a pleasure getting to know all of your children! Our Hannah Senesh Kindergarteners have been focusing on pitch (high and low). They are learning solfège (do re mi) syllables and hand signs to help them feel pitches in their bodies. They’ve also drawn the highs and lows of melodies on the white board. And you may have heard them talk about playing “The Bunny Game”, where they have fun pretending to be bunnies who move in response to specific highs, lows and patterns played on the piano.
