Some ideas: not to waste food, electricity: turn off lights, , water: shut faucet, etc.

grade 3/ oct. 24th hw

We read some new psukim today in our Noach packet on p. 3 psukim 11, 12, 13. The children understand the main idea: that people were destroying the world by behaving very badly to one another until Hashem who "saw" this said that He had to destroy the world. But Noach was the only "tsadik" in that generation and Hashem would save him. Ask your child to find the words that mean "destroy" or "become bad/evil". They are from the same word family (root) and we highlighted them today. Also the word that means: bad deeds (chamas).

I will send home the weekly assignment sheet in their planners tomorrow so you know what to expect for this week.

Thank you and laila Tov!

grade 3/ Oct. 24th important test news!

Welcome Back and I hope everyone had a wonderful chag (holiday)!
There is a new assignment sheet in your child's planner with the week's work.
Tonight's hw is on p. 12 in the Rashi packet. PLease read the instructions (in English) in order to know what to do. Also to start review of psukim 1-6 in perek 23 in Parshat Chayei Sarah.
I told the children they were having a Chumash test this week on Thursday, but I see that they already have an English test scheduled for that day. Since I understand that there is substantial material for them to know for English, and the Chumash test also covers quite a lot of material, I will change the date for my test. PLease check in tomorrow here and on your child's assignment sheet for the new date. I am thinking of either this Friday or next Monday, just don't want to postpone too much, so they don't forget the material.

Thank you for your cooperation!

The weekly assignment sheet will be stapled into your child's planner, so you can see ahead what is expected this week. Changes may be necessary , so please check it each day.

Oct. 3rd third grade reminder

Shana Tova Everybody!
Tomorrow is our test on Rosh Hashana packet. A study guide was sent home today as well as attached to an email for the parents. I told the students that they don't need to memorize anything, but to recognize and understand. There will be matching and fill in questions (w/ answer banks, hence the recognizing and understanding, but not actually producing from memory).
Please review the nine points you need to know.
B'hatslacha! (Good Luck!)
Laila Tov!
