Launching the Science Fair and 
"Come to Ancient Egypt Exhibits"

Friday, January 11, 2020
Glanz/Packer 5th grade


       Though we call it the Science Fair Kick-Off, we and our students know that they've already done a good deal of thinking about their science fair experiments. But it was definitely exciting for each kid to meet her/his mentor, who listened carefully to our students who explained what the experiment would examine. Mentors then helped the mentee plan out the exact materials that would be needed and as well as the detailed procedures that will be used to carry out the experiment.  This morning, each student transferred this information along with the question, hypothesis, and research already done, to a google site that will be used to store all of the data that will be collected, as well as the graphs and analyses that will come later. 











         This week, our students worked diligently to learn about a god/goddess of Ancient Egypt, a famous pharaoh, a symbol that was used widely, and an object that was buried in the tombs of famous pharaohs. They then created posters to advertise an exhibit of Ancient Egyptian artifacts that would have this information and artifacts on display. The posters came out very well. More importantly, the kids learned a great deal from their research. 

Shabbat Shalom and have a wonderful weekend.

The honey tasted delicious! Bar and Shira, our Shin Shimim

First Grade: Preparing Ourselves for the High Holidays - Words and Actions Matter!

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!!!           ...
