So what hw do we have for next week?

Chumash: there is a test WED on perek gimel psukim 1-12 including the Rashi's we have learned. You should study your packet up till what we did there (not the whole packet, we have not learned the whole packet yet because it is on the entire perek, so only the pages we did!)
Please don't forget the RAShi we studied today on pasuk 12 . This is a separate sheet of paper you need to know it. Also include the vocabulary sheets of "Eich Katuv BaTorah?" that were given out separately.

Mishna: We have completed our study of Mishna gimel. There will be a quiz on it , ok , a "shmiz" next Friday. For Tuesday, please complete the worksheet I gave you today.

Remember there is no school on Monday due to Martin Luther King Day, so use the time to study so you do not get stressed.

We learned about the Parsha today. PLease don't forget to give your D'var Torah and get it signed and decorate it for next week. Tomorrow we will be going to the Shakespeare Festival which is why we had our parsha lesson today.
Because I am not sure how much time we will have together tomorrow, I will not post a secret student today. Look for it next week.

Shabbat Shalom everybody!
