Here is what the kids did in Sunday School this week.
From Ms. Ruth (Madilyn's Class):
Dear Parents,
Today was all about the forthcoming Jewish Holiday of Simchat Torah. We started the day coloring in a flag and working on our Simchat Torah Packet, while learning all about the celebration and importance of the Torah! During circle time we went into more detail, learning more about the Torah in regard to how it is made up including the Mantle, the Crown, the Breast Plate, the Yad (Pointer), etc., etc. We read "Sammy Spider's First Simchat Torah" and "The Littlest Tree", a rhyming book, about how the littlest "tree", who thought he was useless, was used for the Torah handles!!
Thereafter we were happy to sit down with our friends for snack. We pretended it was Shabbat, and Riley (as Eema) and Lucas (as Abba) lead the Blessings for the Candles, Kiddish and Challah. Thank you so much to Lucas Lang's and Parker Ross' Families for all the delicious and nutritious snacks today. We also sang Happy Birthday to our Madricha, Alayna, as well as to Addison who had her Birthday during September. Thank you Alayna for the yummy donuts!!!
We then worked hard on coloring, cutting and pasting our "Torahs", and then we had fun marching and singing while waving our flags to celebrate Simchat Torah.
We spoke in more detail about our Consecration Ceremony being held next week, and had a mini rehearsal in the Sanctuary. The children are excited and looking forward to this very special event. We look forward to seeing you there as well to share in this celebration.
Afterwards we still had some time to revise the Aleph Bet and worked on Hay and Vav, coloring our pages for our Aleph Bet Book. We did some revision and wished our friends Shalom Chaverim.
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead, as well as Chag Sameach. Pamphlets were sent home today with information in regard to the Simchat Torah celebrations tomorrow evening, which should be so much fun. Look forward to seeing you there.
From Ms. Julia (Aiden's Class):
Dear Parents,
Our theme for
the morning was SIMCHAT TORAH.
We made two
different flags, by stamping, coloring and stickers. We held the flags as
we danced around the room singing 3 different versions of “Am Yisrael Chai.”
We learned
that the Torah is the Jewish People’s favorite book. It takes a whole
year to read and then we start reading it over from the beginning every Simchat
Torah. Like a good book, we discover new things when we read it again.
Our Hebrew
letter was DALET for degel (flag.) We waved our degel on Simchat Torah.
I sent home a dalet fun sheet.
Our Shabbat
eema and abba were Sydney and Noah.
Have a great week.
