 A group of Middle School Students in grades 6-8 were able to attend the American Repetory Theater's production of "Life of Pi" recently. This production is currently in preview before it goes to its new home in New York at the Gerald Shoenfeld Theater in March 2023.  The story was adapted from the novel by Yann Martel for the stage and first opened in London and is the winner of 5 Olivier Awards (equivalent to our Tony Awards).  We were able to see it at the A.R.T. in Cambridge during its North American Debut and after the performance there was a demonstration on how they make and use the puppets for the show.

This week, we also went outside to the woods for part of a Prehistory lesson to discuss what it was like thousands of years ago, and what they needed to survive.

If You Want To Go Owling, You Have To Be Quiet- "Owl Moon"

By Anonymous
During the past week our focus was very intently on owls.  We had already learned a great deal about these amazing creatures by the time that Mark and Marcia Wilson brought their Eyes on Owls program to Rashi.  Kindergartners were so excited to be only feet away from the six owls and one falcon that we got to meet and learn about.  Later in the week we looked inside owl pellets and showed our learning about owls in a number of ways. The fresh snow this week also allowed us to find lots of fresh animal tracks.  We did tracking outside and indoors, as well, as you'll see when you check out our photo album!  Enjoy! https://photos.app.goo.gl/xEB9LGjZRCr6USb59 Have a wonderful vacation!  Shabbat Shalom!
