Thinking Back

Hello wonderful Havurah First Grade Aleph class! 

For our last in-building class of the year, we took some time to consider what we had learned this year. We centered on drawing our favorite moments of the year. Our most beloved activities were gardening and roof time (see attached to the email). 

We then held hands and practiced our shabbat ritual, followed by our 2nd grade friends visiting to tell us what we had to be excited about for next year. When they left, our kids were buzzing with excitement about using real candles for Shabbat (vs. the electronic type we use) and facilitating the Tzedakah Harvest, a major mitzvah that engages the entire Havurah community.

We had some freeplay on the roof, then joined all of the other classes for an all-Havurah sing. It was wonderful to see how much our friends enjoyed this year. 

See you next week for Camp Satoga at 1pm. Ali won't be able to make it but Megan (our talented house musician!) will be stepping in her place.
