In Jewish studies class we are talking about Joshua and his leadership to the Jewish people. In our assignment we need to talk about who is a leader to us. Personally, a great leader in my eyes is my older brother. He is very charismatic and friendly. He leads most of his friend groups and helps manage our fireteam for videogames.

I learned that there is a different trope for Esther. Not like a Haftarah or Torah. I also learned that they don’t mention God in that entire story.
What I learned in Chap: 9 Verse: 20
I Opened the Tanakh and…
How to keep Purim?
-Have festive meals, give gifts and, presents to the poor.
My Ideas are…
-We could make Mishloach Manot for the people in Saint Bens. We could also give some to Veteran homes for people who lost family in war.
What are your Ideas?

Textual tuesday
“In a place where there is no man, try to be a man.”
This text means if there is no one else in the room not showing any decency, be the different one.
My goal is to stay quiet when our class is having one of our outbursts.

Experiential Exodus
- Was the Experiential Exodus objective met? How do I know kindergarteners learned what was intended?
Yes, I could see that they were making ‘oh’ faces when they learned something new and I could see when they were excited.
- Were the kindergarteners actively engaged? How do I know?
Yes, They were taking the beef from the graves
- Did I alter my plan as I presented the experience from one group to the next? Why?
Yes, at the beginning I had no experiential part.
- What additional assistance, support, and/or resources would have further enhanced this experience?
More time =/
- If I had the opportunity to share the experience again with the same group of kindergarteners, would I do anything differently? What? Why?
Plan ahead. Because I had 2 classes to brainstorm.
Overall I didn’t like it.
