Seventh and Eighth graders met with some Vista members to get a better understanding and discuss the Jewish perspective on learning disabilities. Students listened to essays written by the Vista members and then engaged in conversation with the Vista members. They all seemed to find the presentation to be informative and interesting. During Tefillah, our sixth graders presented the Mi Chamocha to our TBTRS community and remained on the bimah to help lead our group in the Avot and G'Vurot.<br />

At ten we all met in the sanctuary to listen to Joshua Nelson and Chad Thorp! It was an amazing experience that can't be described with just words! Please take a look at the pictures and videos from today to get a taste of what our students experienced!<br />

Our Israeli Emissary, Assaf joined us for his last day at TBT. He played a fun concluding game with the students! <br />
<br />
Seventh graders started their day with their Tefillah, reading the Birkat Shalom in their Hebrew book. Students discussed their recent trip to NYC, sharing with the classmates that couldn't make the trip. They also read from Junior Scholastic to learn more about the Middle East, understanding the conflicts and difficulties of the region.<br />

<br />
Sixth graders spent the bulk of their day preparing for their presentation of the Mi Chamocha for this Sunday's Tefillah service. Parents, please remember to join us for Tefillah at 11:30 to see your child in action! Students should practice reading the Mi Chamocha for homework to practice for Sunday. Sixth graders joined the fifth graders for the program with the Israeli Emissary.<br />
<br />

<br />
Fifth graders were especially busy with their activities, beside meeting with the Emissary, they broke into groups to make Life Cycle skits. They enjoyed doing their work outside! Homework is to practice the full Kiddush.<br />

The third and fourth graders practiced reading the V'Ahavtah and reviewed their homework of their self-created Ten Commandments. Homework is to practice reading the V'Ahavatah, page 170 in the Hebrew text book, lines 6-13. They also visited the library and heard the story, "Kishka for Koppel."<br />

The beautiful weather cooperated!!! I corrected some of my math tests from secular school and took my dog on a long walk down at Hammonasset State Park! It was a beautiful day outside, but we had a beautiful day at TBTRS too!<br />

Our first graders learned about Lag B'Omer in class and read about the Holiday. They also decided to celebrate Yom Ha'Atzmaut today since they missed it over vacation! Students made beautiful cards (with lots of glitter) to celebrate Israel's 65th birthday. They also spent some time practicing their Hebrew letters enjoying a fun time in Music!<br />

Sixth grade was preparing for their presentation next Sunday, May 5th at Tefillah. The students discussed the meaning behind the prayer, Mi Chamocha, and the origin of the prayer in class. They also engaged in a discussion based on their homework from Wednesday, in which they were supposed to ask their parents what it means to them to be American Jews.<br />

Seventh graders were in New York City for a field trip and I heard that they had a wonderful time! I will fill you in once I hear more from them! In the meantime, take a look at this picture of our students in the city!<br />

Eighth graders had a meaningful discussion about Social Activism after watching the short documentary, "No Grapes." I was lucky enough to participate with the class for a little while and was excited about the discussion and maturity of the students!<br />

The confirmation class joined the Annual Meeting and were able to learn a bit about how our synagogue works! The Annual Meeting was quite inspiring for me as I was able to stop in for a bit and saw Al Goldberg receive the K'vod award for his many years of service to TBT! Did you know that he was a founding member? I was most struck by his comment, "I have received more from Temple Beth Tikvah than I have given." Having worked with him over the years, I know that Mr. Goldberg has dedicated so much of his time, intelligence and love to our synagogue. I completely agree with his comment that we get back as much or more than we give! I also saw TBTRS alumni Billy Chupp receive the $10,000 Friesner-Stutzman Scholarship award, given to a high school senior who has demonstrated high academic achievement, good character and a dedication to learning. I heard a bit of the letter from Dylan Buller, last year's recipient as well! In a few short years, our current TBTRS students will be eligible for this generous and amazing scholarship! <br />

Though getting away was great, it was a joy to be back at TBTRS today, especially with the beautiful weather!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Our seventh graders completed their weekly prayer service, focusing on the Amidah. Students finished presenting their Israel book assignment power points and watched some short videos about Israel. When I stopped by the classroom, the children were talking about different ways that we refer to God in our prayers, Redeemer, Parent, Ruler, merciful One, etc. Students were discussing which phrasing meant the most to them or seemed to be the most accurate way to refer to God. This Sunday, our 7th grade class will attend a special field trip to NYC! Please contact Dr. Stein if you have any questions! Students had the opportunity to visit the library and Ms. DeRusha read from, "Who was the Woman Who Wore the Hat?" in honor of April, National Poetry Month. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Sixth graders were also able to attend the library to hear the poetry as well. In class they continued with their Hebrew work, practicing the prayers for one comes up for an Aliyah. Their study of American Jewish History moved closer to the present as students discussed what it means to be a modern American Jew. Homework is to ask a parent, "What does it mean to you to be an American Jew?" Students should bring their written answers in for Sunday.<br />
<br />

<br />
The fifth graders rounded up their lifecycle study on Marriage today. They learned about the Ketubah and what an Aufruf is and then compared older traditions to modern traditions. Students have homework to complete the Marriage packet for Sunday. For Hebrew review, the kids discussed how the <i>dagesh</i> alters the pronunciation of different letters and then they practiced reading the Mi Chamocha.<br />

Third and fourth graders started the day by preparing for their presentation for Sunday's Tefillah service. Students practiced reading the Modeh/Modah Ani and prepared short paragraphs about the prayer. They also began reading the V'Ahavath! Homework is to continue reading the V'ahavath as practice. Ms. Besser shared that homework isn't always completed, so please make sure that you help your child practice the prayer so s/he can impress the rest of the class when they return! Students also heard the story of Moses on Mt. Sinai.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our sixth graders were able to meet with fellow sixth graders from St. George's Catholic Church in Guildford. Students met with Rabbi Offner, spoke about their experiences and shared and asked questions of one another. Students from both religious establishments seemed to have fun and learn about one another.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Third and fourth graders practiced their Hebrew vocabulary words, practicing pronouncing their words, and reviewing their meanings. Many students completed their quizzes from Sunday. The students reviewed vocabulary words from their Hebrew Primer on page 38 (pictured below). Students practiced the Shema and V'Ahavtah then learned about Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaot. Homework is to write a personal version of Modeh/Modah Ani, practice lines 6-9 in the Hebrew Primer and review vocabulary from the quiz if you still need to study.</span><br />

I couldn't help but mention the daffodils that finally bloomed in my yard. They are usually open and bright by Passover, but spring seems to have decided to mosey in this year! I was reminded of something that my mother's rabbi, Rabbi Jerome Malino said to her and she's repeated year after year to me, 'Though we know that spring will come every year, it's always a beautiful miracle when it actually does." I hope that you enjoy the signs of spring as they arrive! We will have our spring break soon and will not have school on Sunday, April 14th, Wednesday, April 17th and Sunday, April 21st. We do have school this Wednesday, so we look forward to seeing our 3rd through 7th graders this week and on Wednesday, April 24th when we return to school.<br />

Also during Tefillah, our 5th graders shared the V'Ahavtah from the bimah and Rabbi Offner talked about the root word LOVE in the word V'Ahavath. The prayer talks about loving G-d and students offered their thoughts on way that we can honor and love G-d every day. Talk to your child about their thoughts on loving G-d! We started the service by lighting memorial candles for Yom HaShoah and honoring those that we lost, saying, "We will not forget."<br />

In classes today, the 9th grade confirmation class continued to prepare for their Confirmation service on Friday, May 17th. Our 8th graders discussed Jewish law in relationship to abortion. They used their knowledge of concepts like "an eye for an eye," additional information from Dr. Kaye, and their own perspectives to discuss the issue.<br />
<br />
Our seventh graders were excited to learn that Dr. Stein has planned a field trip to New York to the Jewish Heritage Museum on April 28th.

Students also learned about Israel in preparation for their Israel presentations on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The sixth graders are eagerly anticipating their visit with the 6th grade CCD students from St. George's Catholic church in Guilford.

They got to participate in the Chocolate Seder today! The sugar filled event was enjoyed by all and included marshmellow charoset, a white chocolate shank bone, carmelized chocolate covered matzah, a chocolate egg, and some celery. (We still have some celery left over.) Homework is to practice the V'Ahavtah and Mi Chamocha for Sunday.<br />

Our first and second graders spent much of the day together, first watching "The Seder on Planet Matzah Ball" and then visiting the library to listen to the story, "Sammy the Spider's first Passover." Then the two classes met in the Sanctuary to practice singing the Barchu and Shema. After a little bit of independent work in their classrooms, they joined the whole Religious School community, and many of their parents, in the Sanctuary to help Rabbi Offner lead services as they sang the Barchu and Shema up on the bimah!<br />

<br />
Sixth graders prepared for Sunday's model Seder by working on a short presentation on the four children's questions. They wrote a short script on what each child, the wicked, the simple, etc would ask during a Seder after reading a story about the children. Students also practiced reading the questions in Hebrew. As a special treat, two students wrote a song about Passover! It was awesome and I hope that everyone gets a chance to hear it on Sunday!<br />

Fifth graders continued to work on the Mi Chamocha and discussed their results of the B'Nei Mitzvah interviews they have been conducting over the last couple of weeks. They went to the library and heard the story of "The Carp in the Bathtub" and were given time to look for books to borrow. Homework is to complete the bottoms of pages 52 and 54 in the Home Hebrew Workbook.<br />

Third and fourth graders began their day by practicing the Four Questions for the Passover Seder and read the Plagues and elements on the Seder plate in Hebrew. They listened to "The Illustrated Jewish Bible for Children" in class, hearing Exodus 1-8, the story of Moses up to the second plague (FROGS!) Homework is to practice the Hebrew related to Pesach that was reviewed in class.<br />

The seventh graders reviewed the Amidah as well as the roots and suffixes they have been practicing in class. In preparation for Passover, they reviewed the Four Questions and told the story of Passover. They continued watching the movie "Defiance" in class today as well.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are very excited about our Model Seder this Sunday morning during Religious School at 10:30 am. Students will participate in an abbreviated Seder led by Rabbi Offner and partake in the items on the Seder plate! We encourage students to bring their Seder plate from home, if it is one which is safe and easy to travel with. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At this point you should have received a punchbowl invitation via email for the Seder. If not, please contact me via email so I can pass it along to you! If you are interested in bringing Charoset, please remember that it must be nut free. Please see the picture below for some nut free recipes (not all are nut free) from Stop and Shop's Passover flyer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We also need parents to help set up and clean up for the Seder, so if you'd prefer to help in this way, we'd love to have you come! The more the merrier! If the item you were hoping to bring is already accounted for, please let me know and I will coordinate extra items that we may need.</span></div>

As you know, we recline during the Passover Seder and our first and second graders now have personalized Seder pillow cases for the holiday, just add a pillow from their bed!<br />
<br />
Not only did the first graders design pillows, but they also got to visit the library where they heard the story "I love Passover" by Maryiln Hersch. Once they were back in the classroom, finishing up their pillow cases, they heard "The Story of Passover" by Rabbi Francis Barry Silberg.<br />

The seventh graders continued their work with roots and used what they knew to complete phrases, such as they boys speak, the girls have faith, the boy ate. They reviewed the Hagaddah in preparation for Passover and practiced their presentation for today's Tefillah in which they shared the Avot and G'vurot with our Religious School community.<br />

Eighth graders engaged in a meaningful discussion about the practice of Baptizing by proxy in some Mormon churches. Students were able to hear information shared by their teacher who recently visited Utah and learned more about the LDS church. Students also discussed their personal genealogy, learning that most people in the class are from Russia, Poland and Romania.</div>
<br />
The confirmation class began preparing for their Confirmation Service which is just a few weeks away. The students plan to incorporate technology into their Service and started on their presentation today.<br />
<br />
Parents, please be on the lookout for an email about next week's Model Seder. In order to make this event a success, we need participation from everyone. Please sign up to bring a food item via the punchbowl invitation you should have received earlier today. I will send an additional email with more information tomorrow, but please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!<br />

We played the wiggle game (ask your kids) and began talking about Passover. Students used the knowledge from their homework reading to begin answering questions about Pesach. At the end of the day, the kids went to the Library and heard the story of the Carp in the Bathtub!<br />
<br />
Fifth graders completed their work on the "65 Years, 65 Visions" project for Federation. They also talked about the meaning of the the Mi Chamocha and listened to the story, "The Curse of Blessings" by Mitchell Chefitz which incorporates the Sheheyanu. Homework is to complete the B'Nei Mitzvah interviews for the 20th.<br />
<br />
The sixth graders worked on translating as they read Hebrew in class. They have been working on reading in pairs, groups and independently and making good progress in their Hebrew text books. The group discussed their homework questions: Why do Jews care about Social Justice? and How do Jews pursue Social Justice?<br />
<br />
The seventh grade watched more of the movie, Defiance and continued with their Hebrew root work. They reviewed this week's Parshat, Hashavuah Kedoshim, and began reviewing the Haggadah in preparation for Passover.<br />
<br />
All students were lucky enough to meet with Assaf, one of our Israeli Emissaries, as he taught the children about the flora and fauna of Israel. It was a busy and productive day!<br />

Fifth graders participated in the 65 years project for Federation and created two canvases celebrating the years of 1993 and 2007. Though the fifth graders need to finish up their posters on Wednesday, they are really coming along. Some students also met with teacher aids to interview them about when they became B'Nei Mitzvah. They were fun and meaningful conversations for the fifth graders and mentors alike!</div>

Students also worked on reading Hebrew in class. I was lucky to spend some time working with the students. They were able work on perfecting their pronunciation and took turns reading the words. I was quite impressed when I heard the students put everything together and read as a class. Homework is to read chapter 7 from the "Let Freedom Ring" textbook.<br />
<br />
The seventh graders kept up with their work on Hebrew roots and used their Prayer Companion workbook to study the Kedushat Hayom. Students watched some of the movie "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034303/">Defiance</a>" in class. Additionally, students completed a handout on Parshat Hashuvuah Pekudai.<br />

Fifth graders worked on the vowel, kamatz katan, as they read the V'ahavtah and talked about the various ways to show love for G-d as described in the prayer. For the lifecycle focus, students learned about and reflected on conversion to Judaism. For homework, students should read their Hebrew book, Mastery and Meaning (page 47) two times with a parent signature, they should complete pages 46 and 48 in the book and can begin their Bar/Bat/B'nei Mitzvah interview or continue to try to find and interviewee.</div>

The third and fourth graders started learning parts of the body in Hebrew and began to talk about Passover. Students then went to the library and heard the story, "The Four Questions" by Lynne Sharon Schwartz. Homework is for students to bring in their book reports and practice and learn the body parts in Hebrew.</div>

The Confirmation class met with Mr. Babbin again to continue to discuss various Jewish texts, and interpreting their meaning in modern day life. The eighth graders spoke about Medical ethics, considering the ramifications of DNR orders and euthanasia in a Jewish context. <br />
<br />
Seventh graders started their day making groggers for our Megillah reading and then worked on their hebrew roots and the Kedushat Hayom. Students also began watching "Defiance."<br />
<br />

Sixth graders also worked on root words and played a game with the meanings of each of the roots they studied. After their Hebrew work, the kids made groggers and though there was a bit of a lentil explosion, they made some spectacular noisemakers!<br />
<br />

Fifth graders started their day making groggers and I must say, they had more variety in their work than I could have imagined. After their creative work, the kids talked about lifecycle and Jewish life elements and events like conversions and kosher laws.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

The fourth and third graders finished the creation of their Megillat Esther, made their group bracha costume and exchanged mishloach manot.<br />

The second graders were super busy, working on the letter vav in their Hebrew workbooks and getting ready for Passover! They started working on the blessings and prayers from the Haggadah. They have plans to make Elijah's cup and an afikomen bag! They also managed to make their groggers today too! Those are some hard working second graders!!!<br />

The first grade class talked about the story of Purim, and even got to visit the library to hear a Purim story! In class, they made groggers and colored some Purim papers!<br />

Our teachers planned many fun activities along with the regular classwork! <br />

<br />
Seventh graders completed their afternoon Tefillah and reviewed the Megillat Esther by taking turns telling portions of the story. The students did a beautiful job of telling the story in a fun and creative way!<br />

Sixth graders played a game of "Jewpardy" in class, answer questions from categories like Purim Heroes, Numbers, Purim Customs, American Jewish History, and The Whole Megillah! <br />

Fifth graders reviewed lifecycle events by playing Bingo with the various terms they have learned. They also accepted the challenge of completing a very tricky Purim quiz! Not only did students show off their knowledge, but they impressed me with their vocal chords as they blotted out Haman's name!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">As you know, the carnival and our activities for Purim were postponed and will take place this Sunday. Since Purim took place during our February break and many students were unable to attend our Megillah reading on Purim this past Sunday, we wanted to provide our students with the opportunity to participate in the fun we had last week. Please join your children for our additional Megillah reading at 11 am in the Sanctuary as we celebrate Purim (again)! Please encourage your child to come dressed for the occasion as Mordechai, Esther or any fun costume that they like. Silly or serious, Superhero or Super Jewish Hero, all are welcome! At 11:30, students will be able to go to the Adar-Nival where they will play games and have fun! The Youth Group is running this fundraiser and asks that each child bring $5 to the carnival which buys them a lunch of pizza and ice cream!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In light of the falling snow and the fact that the State of Connecticut Department Of Emergency Services and Public Protection has confirmed blizzard warnings in effect for the entire state until midday tomorrow, we have closed the temple for the day.

Report cards will be distributed this Sunday, so be sure to ask your child for the envelope when they come home from Religious School! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
But, before they head home, be sure to come by for our Megillah reading at 11 am in the Sanctuary as we celebrate Purim! Due to the February break, we are celebrating a bit earlier, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun! Please encourage your child to come dressed for the occasion as Mordechi, Esther or any fun costume that they like. Silly or serious, Superhero or Super Jewish Hero, all are welcome! At 11:30, students will be able to go to the Adar-Nival where they will play games and have fun! The Youth Group is running this fundraiser and asks that each child bring $5 to the carnival which buys them a lunch of pizza and ice cream!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
We will have Religious School next Wednesday, but will be on break after that until Wednesday, February 27th. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Please remember that if we have a weather issue that extends to this Sunday, I will report closings via the listserv, on the Facebook page (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/templebethtikvahct" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr>templebethtikvahct</a>), the Facebook group, the Religious School blog (<a href="http://tbtrs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">TBTRS.blogspot.com</a>) and on the following media outlets:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
TV: WTNH, WFSB</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Radio: WTIC, WRCH, WZMX</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
If there is an issue with power or internet, I will do my best to post the information on as many of these outlets as possible. Please feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions or concerns and as always, please use your own best judgement during inclement weather if you do not feel comfortable traveling. Parents of fifth graders should receive an email with information about tomorrow night's Shabbat dinner either this evening or tomorrow.</div>

After returning to their classroom, the sixth graders starting preparing for Purim by listening to the story of Purim. The fifth graders also planned for Purim but talking about the upcoming Adarnival and planning their costumes for Sunday!</div>
</div>
<br />
The third and fourth graders learned Hebrew vocabulary words related to Purim. When I stopped in, the kids were telling the story using the appropriate Hebrew names and titles! Homework is to come dressed up and to bring in Mishloach Manot to exchange in class.<br />
<br />
Seventh graders completed their afternoon Tefillah and spent time reviewing the Kedusha in their prayer companion and then talked about Purim. The finished the movie, Escape from Sorbibor, and discussed their reaction to the movie and planned questions to ask the Sorbibor survivor who will be joining the class in the near future!<br />
<br />
Don't forget to come dressed up on Sunday and bring $5 for the Adarnival!<br />

Our second graders were working hard on their Hebrew letters throughout the day, coloring them, identifying the letters and determining which letter would start various words! I was most impressed when I saw students using their notes to remind them how to make letter and the sounds that they make. They also began to talk about Purim as we will be celebrating next week (a little bit early due to vacation) and planned to make groggers!</div>

Fifth graders practiced reading the Shema/V'ahavtah in small groups and sounded great! Many students earned points for reading the V'Ahavtah at home to their parents. Students also began talking about Purim and planning their activities for the holiday. They also broke into small groups to discuss adding elements of Judaism to their big tree, determining what served as a grounding root, a stabilizing trunk, the expanding branches, and the changing leaves. They will place the terms/elements on the tree next week. Homework is to come up with questions to ask the Rabbi about Torahs as they will meet with Rabbi Offner this Wednesday.</div>

Sixth graders practiced the Amidah, and got creative, with both their hands and minds by writing their own prayers. The expressed what they were thankful and prayed for, from family to things to favorite celebrities, and made a small poster of their prayers. By considering ways to make these prayers personally meaningful and modern, students will have a better understanding of the classic prayers they read each week in Tefillah.</div>

Yesterday, the fifth graders worked on reading and interpreting the V'Ahavtah (Go to <a href="http://www.templebethtikvahct.org/Prayers.htm">this page</a> on our TBT website and click "Shema and V'Ahavtah to download the prayer to your computer/phone/MP3 player). Students' homework is to read the V'Ahavtah two times and get a parent signature for each time they read it. However, students can earn bonus class points by reading it four times! Class points are collected to earn special activities! The fifth graders then went to the library and heard stories about Tu B'Shevat.<br />
