ysteigmann's Learning Journey

Today we learned parsha. A question I still have is how come the children are holy enough to go into Israel, but not the parents?

Hebrew: In Hebrew and Jewish studies we are learning about kibbutzim. We started to learn a little but today we actually learned about a kibbutz. In Hebrew and Jewish studies are project for kibbutzim is having like a little game\activity for some jobs. Me and Sam are the washing dishes job. Are game\activity is trying to clean your plate and the one who cleaned all there plates the fastest is the winner. The materials we need are: sponges, buckets, washable paint, plastic plates, school bathroom soap and towels. The few that are on Gev. Kliman’s blog are: buckets, plastic plates and towels.

Community Project: Soon is election week! I am running for judge. Since today is Thursday I have a babysitter. First me and the babysitter are going to the staff verse alumni game. Then we can go to the JCC to work on my judge speech! I’m very exiting and I think I am going to have fun!

Collaboration: In collaboration we are studying Japan. In class we each make these fish. We made the fish because in Japan for one of there celebrations they wave around the fishes in the air. That is why we made the fish. They are called koinobori and they fly for Children’s Day that is on May 5th.

Today we had parsha. A question I still have is how did they move the tabernacle?

Today we learned Parsha! My favorite part was when they said the 10 commandments! All though a question I still have is when they said the commandment that said if you kill someone you need to go to a certain place in till you are old and then you can return ( if you did not do it on purpose ) to your community! But my question is what is you accidentally destroyed a building and all the people were inside and they killed them too, could you come back or could you not?

Upper School Play: This year the upper school play is Shrek. I am exited to see it on Friday. I hope it is a good play!

Science: Today in science we will test our submersibles. I hope me and Hazels  is a success!

Hebrew And Jewish Studies: For Tu B´Shevat in art class we were making trees. Today in class we painted the trees we made in art class!

Science: In science again we are learning about submersibles in class. Yesterday in class we were trying out what to use to make the submersible. My submersible partner is Hazel.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: We are learning about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I am excited for a Monday off!

Hebrew and Jewish Studies: In Hebrew and Jewish Studies since Tu B´Shevat we are doing a project. The project we are doing we can have partners for. My partner is Shiri. The project is basically having a topic and asking a 5 questions about the topic. Our topic is trees in Israel. Another part of the project is finding the answers to the questions. Then we need to present it. We decided to present it by having a box that can open and the top part of the opening part has the questions. Then when you open it at the bottom of the box will have the answers.

Writers Workshop: We are doing a draft of our books. I am so exited to write my my book.

Today we had Parsha. A question I still have is why when Pharoh said take this plage away God took the plage away?

Beads of Courage: We are doing Beads of Courage. Beads of Courage is a program for people who are very sick, each time they go through a treatment they get a bead to honor there courage for going through a treatment. We made a announcement on the speaker about it.
