5th  grade -  lag  ba'omer

To learn about how and why we celebrate this special day, we are:
  • Hearing the story of Lag B’Omer and learning about the customs of Lag B’Omer.
  • Re-enacting the Lag B’Omer story with a shadow puppet theater
  • Creating campfire songs about Lag B’Omer, to sing around the bonfire on Lag B’Omer night.
​Our class has also been helping to lead a spirited JKG-wide Shira (Song) Time, including Modeh Ani, Hatikvah, David Melech, the Shema and other songs.
​
Ideas to Bring It Home 
  • Ask your student: What are the two things that happened on Lag B’Omer? Who was Rabbi Bar Yochai?

Hebrew Learning
  • Small Group Learning: In our Hebrew program, students work closely with a Hebrew specialist to meet their personal Hebrew reading acquisition goals. Students work on honing their Hebrew skills through experiential games, activities, and projects.
  • We will check in again in May to update you on your child’s progress. If you have any questions about our Hebrew program or your child's placement, please connect with Eliah Perez, Sunday@Jewishkidsgroups.com



4th  grade  - the  jewish  life  cycle

To learn about significant events in the life of a Jew, we are:

  • Crafting our own mini-chuppahs
  • Singing and dancing to the song “Siman tov u’mazel tov” - to simulate a Jewish wedding celebration
Each week our class plays get-to-know-you games to build our classroom culture and sings songs at a spirited Shira (song) Time, including Modeh Ani, Hatikvah, David Melech, and the Shema.
​
Ideas to Bring It Home 
  • Ask your student: What happens at a traditional Jewish wedding? Why?  If you had a Jewish wedding (or have attended a Jewish wedding) with those rituals, share stories about your experiences.

To learn about how and why we celebrate this special day, we are:
