Sukkot and Simchat Torah!

Simchat Torah

We celebrated the upcoming holiday of Simchat Torah with the rest of the school and our buddies! Second graders had the special job of presenting two different types of Torahs to the school. In class we explored the two types of Torahs up close and compared how they are similar and different.

Sukkah Making with our Buddies!

We met our sixth grade buddies in the school sukkah to build our own sukkot out of treats. Thank you to the PA for organizing!

Two Sukkah Visits!

We visited two different sukkot in second grade! The students were so excited to go sukkah hopping around Brooklyn and experience different types of sukkot. In class we learned about the “Arba’at Ha’minim” the four species. We learned their names, how many there are, and compared how they look and smell. We talked about what they might represent. Are they more similar or more different? What might it symbolize to bring different things together? What can this tell us about who we want to feel welcome in our sukkah and in our community?

Special thank you to Bryce and Asher’s families for hosting our class!
