This week's update

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow the book reports are due.  Extra copies can be downloaded from the forms link on the side of the blog.  We started a new vocabulary unit (Unit 6 in the orange vocabulary book), and we will have a vocabulary test next Wednesday before we leave for winter break. 

The kids are actively working on their explorers project in class, and we want to get to the point where all they will have to do when they get back from winter break is type. 

The states quiz (take 2!) will be on Friday. 

Also, our class is collecting tzedakkah to help rebuild the forests that have been destroyed in Israel's recent wildfire.  We will be collecting through Friday of this week.

Have a great Wednesday!

Leading the pledge and Hatikvah

These students pose for a picture in Mr. Weismark's office right before they go live on the intercom.

This week (and last week) our class is in charge of leading the school in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Israeli National Anthem, Hatikvah.

Here are the lyrics in English

As long as deep in the heart,

The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
