Grade 6 Weekly News
What a wonderful service the BOSTYites led this past Friday! I am so proud of everyone’s hard work. Be sure to read our weekly newsletter and class blog (http://katemonge6thgrade.blogspot.com). These are great ways to keep up to date on assignments and important reminders about both ARS and TOS. Audio files of blessings, prayers and Trope that we are studying can also be found on our blog for reinforcement.
Jewish Studies
This week, we returned to our study of Jewish Heroes in our textbook Eizehu Gibor: Living Jewish Values. We learned about Avanah, humility, the balance between too much and too little pride. It is a value that takes work to live well. Albert Einstein teaches us that we can be great and still live a life of avanah. Moses shows us that one can be a leader and still live a life of avanah.
HOMEWORK – due Tuesday, April 5
Answer the following questions:
- What can good qualities do?
- What can bad qualities do?
- What should a person be humble about his or her good qualities?
Hebrew – B’nei Mitzvah Skills
This week, we continued along our B’nei Mitzvah Prep List with the Blessing Before the Reading of Torah.
HOMEWORK:
Each week, students must practice reading Hebrew at least 5 minutes every night. Each student must complete and turn in a Reading Raffle Card to prove that they completed their Hebrew practice. This week, students should practice reading and chanting the Blessing Before the Reading of Torah. It can be found in their blue folders (there is also a link to the siddur page on our class blog, both a student version and a “Heblish” version so that parents who can’t read Hebrew can help their child practice). For homework, practice reading and chanting the Hebrew by listening to the audio file on our blog.
As always, students should also sing through what we know of the Trope Anthem a few times each day. A copy of the colorful Trope Anthem can be found in the blue folder as well (and on our class blog you can find a copy of the Trope Anthem
REMINDERS:
This Saturday (April 2) is our next Grade 6 B’nei Mitzvah Havurah! These special pre-Bar/Bat Mitzvah programs are required for all of the students to attend with at least one parent. We look forward to seeing you there! At 9:30am, meet in the Leibovitch Conference Room for pre-service discussion with Cantor Schloss. Bat Mitzvah of Remi Shore in the main sanctuary, followed by lunch. We will conclude around 1:30pm.
