A month of school has gone by so quickly!  Now that fall is here, the days are getting shorter and the temperature is getting cooler, giving us a slight chance to catch our breath.  However, the activities at The Silver Academy are moving along full force.  In the coming weeks, we will be starting clubs, going on field trips and sukkah hopping!  At The Silver Academy, we encourage and appreciate parent volunteers and chaperons.  Please feel free to contact your child's teacher or myself about ways you can get involved. 

G'mar Chatima Tova and to those who do, have an easy fast.

HAVDALAH - 7:26 PM

SHABBAT YOM KIPPUR  - Leviticus 16 (Morning), Leviticus 18 (Afternoon) 

סיכום - Summary

• The Torah reading recalls the ancient sacrifices that were brought on the Day of Atonement.
• To impress the people with their communal responsibility for sin and their need for forgiveness, two goats were brought to the Temple.
• Lots were cast to designate one goat for G-d and the other for Azazel, symbol of wickedness.
• The ceremony vividly dramatized the casting away of the sins of the Israelites.
• The ancient rite is read each year because of its theme of asking for forgiveness and atonement, the theme of Yom Kippur.
• In the afternoon on Yom Kippur the entire Book of Jonah is read.
• The moral of the Jonah story is double:

1. G-d is the G-d of the whole universe, and all people are G-d's people.
2. G-d accepts repentance and forgives.

"MAY YOU BE INSCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE"

Kindergarten

Mrs. Sally Jo Bronner

(Morah Sarah)

Kindergarten has kicked off it's sweet new year by baking delicious treats with the help of Yael's mother and Adam's grandmother.  They also made beautiful Rosh Hashanah greeting cards, heard the shofar and learned how it was made. Rena and Joel are particularly good at blowing the shofar, even though Morah Sarah can't get a small toot out of it!  

It is hard to believe we are nearing the end of our first 

writing unit: Small Moments. Everyone has been hard at work writing "small moment stories". As young writers, first and second graders have learned so much and come so far! In this unit, students learned how to come up with ideas, plan stories, revise and edit the writing, and prepare stories for an audience. Taking small moments in their lives,  students stretched them out and brought the stories to life! We are excited for our writing celebrati
on next week! First and second grades will be celebrating together and will share their stories with one another. Stop by our bulletin board next week to see the books published by these young authors! 

Library

Ms. Roseman

During Fire Prevention Week, the students in Kindergarten and First and Second Grades participated in a contest sponsored by Senator Rob Teplitz's office. 

After hearing a story about fire prevention during library, the children drew a picture to illustrate a way to prevent the spreading of fires. After much deliberation, Rena Cheskis' picture was chosen to be sent to the Capitol as a representation of The Silver Academy. She drew a beautiful picture of children standing around a campfire making sure it would not spread. 

All of the children who participated will be recognized during our Kabbalat Shabbat on November 7th at 2:45. Each artist will receive a certificate from the senator.
