| Torah Academy Students Join National Sefer Torah Campaign |
|
Our Elementary students have joined the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation "Onaas Devarim" sefira program. On Thursday the 4th and 5th graders joined schools across the country in reciting Tehillim and hearing from Rabbi Shmuel Kaminetsky, shlita, by phone hookup. The students also watched an inspiring video describing the power of our words.
All winners will have the unique opportunity to fulfill the Mitzva of writing a sefer Torah by receiving a certificate and a special letter to be written from The Chofetz Chaim Foundation Sefer Torah. More details will follow as we launch this powerful program. |

Kindergarten - Mrs. Rabovsky
The theme of exploring Eretz Yisroel has created an excitement for the kindergartners as Mrs. Rabovsky inspires them to create flags, games, songs and passports for their pretend trip to Eretz Yisroel. The children will take a virtual trip to the land of Israel next week on Yom Haatzmaut. |

Rabbi Englander utilized chavrusa learning this week with his third graders. He introduced a model of differentiated instruction by hand - tailoring activities for each pair of students. He was able to make the learning relevant and fun for each student. Pairing the students allows for better assessment and enables them to utilize their personal strengths. |
