This week, we explored how trees help us live by providing us with the things we need.  We also learned about owls and groundhogs.  It was a great week!

Thank you to Harry's family for coming in for his Important Person Activity.  The children made "Bristlebots" and had races with them.  Thank you Melanie, Michael, Jake and Liev for coming in for this exciting activity!

Ask your child:

1) What do trees give us?
2) What is a "Bristlebot?"
3) After being thrown into a pit, sold to Egypt as a slave and becoming a prisoner, how did Joseph end up being second to the King of Egypt?
4) ....about our "Eyes on Owls" program.
5) What did you do at Newbridge today?
6) Will there be six more weeks of winter or an early spring?  How do you know?  Who is Puxatawney Phil?
7) What was your favorite part of the owl program and which was your favorite owl?

Have a wonderful weekend and Shabbat Shalom!

Alison and Judy

Preparing Ourselves for the High Holidays:  One Word and Action at a Time! I recently read this:  Words matter. They are packages of power that can harm or help... And so my work with the First Grade Students began with reading our first two TREASURES of the year - Gershon's Monster  and Mr. Peabody's Apples .  Many of the social justice TREASURES read and discussed this year will be anchored in a particular Jewish text, mitzvah or Jewish value. I introduced the Ecclesiastes text below to lay the groundwork for reading and delving deep into the big messages of these two stories: Gershon's Monster retold by Eric Kimmel Smith What happens when a young man named Gershon sweeps his mistakes into his cellar every week, empties his mistakes in the sea every Rosh Hashanah and never says sorry or thinks twice about his words or actions? His mistakes catch up with him in a serious way!!!           ...
