Shalom Atid Families!
Welcome! I am excited to get to know each of you and hear your hopes and dreams for your child’s Jewish journey and how we can work together to be partners in your child’s Jewish learning.
We had a fantastic first day on Sunday and look forward to seeing you next Sunday. *Each week please send your child with tzedakah money, our classes will be collected and at the end of the year will decide where their money will be donated. Limor and Meirav’s class made coin purses to carry their tzedakah money each week.
Below you will see Carpool Talk, these are bullet points you can use to initiate conversation with you child.
Shalom,
Luisa
Kitah Alef (K-2)
Teacher: Limor Dahan
Today we:
Talked about Tzedakah.
We watch a short video about Tzedakah and different ways that we can give Tzedakah- charity.
Each child decorated their own Tzedakah bag to be used every Sunday when they come to school.
We began discussing High Holidays through a Tzedakah Maze activity, the kids had to find a path from the coins to the Tzedakah box by coloring in all the words that are related to the High Holidays.
*Please remember your blue ATID folder each Sunday! 🙂
