HONEY BEES MAKE HONEY CAKE

If our EC wasn't sweet enough, the classrooms and hallways are filled with the delicious smells of honey cakes and applesauce as our youngest students learn ingredients, measuring, and turn-taking as they prepare the foods of Rosh Hashana.  

There's a lot of important information to remember about the mitzvot of Tishrei - no better way to learn than in a friendly competition!  Using a quiz show format, students beat each other to the buzzer as they show who has the most knowledge in Jewish Jeopardy!
