We hope everyone had a wonderful and happy holiday season!
The children were excited to come back to school in a different year, 2009!
Last week we discussed the new year and our goals and plans for it!
On Monday, January 5th we began practicing the letter "S" and decorated some BIG 2009 numbers with glitter and craypas! We also counted down from 10 and said "Happy New Year!" when the clock struck NOON!!
Tuesday, January 6th we reviewed the numbers "5" and "6" and drew a picture and explained where we saw ourselves in the year 2019 (10 years from now, when we are 15!) Some of us saw ourselves being a skateboarding champion, when others saw themselves studying science in high school!
On Wednesday, we continued practice with the letter "S" and started to read a chapter book! Our book talked about the mummers and why they are special to the city of Philadelphia! We even made our own fun and unique mummers headbands.
Thursday, we talked about goals for the new year. Our friends thought of terrific goals such as learning to be a better reader, being a better friend, and even trying to ride a 2-wheeler bicycle! We also practiced some language arts skills and completed some worksheets. We were very excited to have our first drama class of the new year, with Mr. Michael. The children sang a getting to know you song, and did some review of what they learned in 2008
On Friday, we were excited to celebrate the first shabbat of 2009 with Cantor Carl and wrote a new years poem!
A BiG THANKS TO OUR FIRST ROYAL READER OF 2o09 MICHAEL MIELE!
