Our Middle School students have been taking regular classroom assessments and tests using the Senteo Smart Response System developed by Smart Technologies. This system allows the students to input their answers to a variety of different types of questions on computerized "clickers." The students and their teachers get their scores instantly, allowing for real-time feedback as to how well a lesson was retained. Elisha Burack of the sixth grade remarked, "They are fun to use in class. I like it much better than writing." 

The Yartzeit of Rachel Imeinu was commemorated through a meaningful assembly hosted and performed by Mrs. Goldstein and the fifth grade girls this week. Their mothers and extended family came out for the production. The girls shared the powerful words and lessons on Rachel through songs, music and a slide show presentation. "It was so meaningful and inspirational to see that the girls are able to express these Torah values and truly connect to our Imahos," said Mrs. Ruth Gibber, great-grandmother of Chana Gibber.

The Kindergarten children have entered the next stage in their academic growth as they create their first Parsha book. Using their imagination and creativity, the children will create weekly illustrations of the Parsha. "This will help teach them continuity and they will be able to share their work each Shabbos," said Mrs. Rabovsky.
