Middle School Wednesday WEEL 

Students study the Mishna on Sukkot and use DBL
(design based learning) to create scale models according to the rules...
 



They learn how to classify seeds using the dichotomous key,


and they conduct tests using the
Scientific Method.

Students complete applications for their own  library cards.


The first WEEL activity kept students on campus,


making new friends,


discovering new things, 


and visiting with staff!

For the 12th consecutive year, Weizmann will host the only multi-age, multi-cultural youth concert registered with the Daniel Pearl Foundation's World Music Days.  Since its inception in 2002, World Music Days has grown to include more than 11,000 concerts in 129 countries.  Based on the theme "Harmony for Humanity" the concerts rely on the power of music as a universal language to promote tolerance and humanity throughout the world. Please join us, and invite your family and friends too, on October 15, when our students will perform alongside students from B'nai Simcha Preschool, New Horizon School, and St. Marks School.

What's Shaking in the Sukkah?
Sukkot, a Hebrew word meaning "booths" or "huts," refers to the Jewish festival of giving thanks for the fall harvest.  It also commemorates the 40 years of Jewish wandering in the desert after the giving of the Torah atop Mt. Sinai.  Sukkot is celebrated five days after Yom Kippur, on the 15th of the month of Tishrei.
