The Heschel School

We are off to a wonderful start to the year in second grade! This week, we continued our A Moon for Moe and Mo text study, and thought about what makes Moe and Mo similar, and what makes them different. The children made observations about their appearances and how much they look alike! We hope you will join us next week at Back To School Night, when you will have an opportunity to see your children’s work related to our Lower School Read. We have also begun our Singapore math curriculum. Throughout the week, we played fun math games to review our addition facts until 20 and played other games involving number searches to 100, and games with dice. 

In Hebrew, we reviewed all the names of the colors, and started to learn about the Hebrew months of the year. As we approach Rosh Hashanah, we are thrilled to learn all about the holiday. Tefillah has become a special time of day, and our tefillot are very meaningful. As a classroom community, we learned new lines of the tefillah Ashrei, and are learning new tunes to tefillot we already know. We look forward to learning even more tefillot throughout the year, and to our Siddur Ceremony, where we will receive our very own Siddurim. Shabbat Shalom.
