We had a great pre-Purim celebration in class. We began with a Purim tefillah, in which each student led a prayer to a new, and usually silly, tune. While Jane and Joan baked delicious hamentashen with groups of students, the rest of the students decorated and packed mishloach manot baskets to deliver on Purim Day. Thanks to the parents of Josh, Jenny, and Isaiah F-S, and of course Rosie T for contributing to this project.
We've finished our prophets book, and will be spending the last months of school on Pirkei Avot, a book of the mishna which is also known as Ethics of the Fathers. We'll also spend the next few weeks learning to chant and trying to interpret some sections of the haggadah.
