Hanukkah Show Information

fmellenthin / / Uncategorised

Our Hanukkah show is fast approaching and with all the preparations and rehearsals, I realized I have not shared key information about the evening:

  • The show will begin at 6pm and will last approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Children will be sitting with their class and teachers
  • All the children are asked to wear shirts or dresses (for the girls) that are colors of a flame (either orange, red or yellow)
  • The new families will be invited to the front with Rabbi Finkelstein to light the Menorah.

Any questions or queries, please feel free to ask!

See you on Thursday for our wonderful celebration.

Grade 3 Class Elections

Our class voted for a Knesset Grade 3 Representative on Friday afternoon. A number of students put up posters and made a speech to the class. We kept the whole process low key as this was their first election. We  told the children to share why they would make a good grade representative to the Knesset. The candidates got up in front of the class and delivered the most heartfelt and  sincere speeches. One candidate told the class that he thought Grade 3 was the best class, and how he wanted to share the class with the whole school. Another candidate shared that he was a good listener, and he would bring forth all the ideas from Grade 3. All the candidates did a fabulous job and demonstrated respect for each other. The children had a difficult time voting for just one person.  Congratulations to Adam L. and Emmett for being chosen as our Grade 3 Rep, and alternate Grade 3 Rep. They will make excellent leaders for our class. It was an afternoon to remember!

STEM Challenge Fun

The Grade 3 class was challenged to design and build a watering device for the plants they have grown. The children were so excited to design and test their devices.  Over the course of few classes, the children tested, and adjusted their plans as they tried to build the best watering device possible. An amazing thing started to happen in the class, the children started to help and encourage each other. One student told the whole class, “You don’t fail until you stop trying”. The children cheered each other on as they watched the watering devices in action. They helped each other fix the leaks – yes we did have water all over, but it was worth it! All the children were highly engaged and putting forth their best efforts. I am getting excited for more STEM challenges with Grade 3.
