Another successful journey into the past! -
Our school year culminated with another successful journey.
The Bonim, pre-K children culminated their year with an archaeological dig. The children dig for “ancient artifacts”. Once they have found an item, they record it in their journal, then they bring it to a sorting area, and place the item in the correct area. Finally, the children build a museum to show all the artifacts they have found. The children proudly bring in their family and friends to tour the museum. This helps to bring full circle all the many things the children have learned over the year.
Look below for summer camp and fall registration contact information.
Marc Chagall is in the hall -
The children also learned about the famous Jewish artist Marc Chagall. They studied his windows at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem and discussed all the interesting things they observed in his windows. The children learned that he is telling a story about each tribe, the children thought about their own “story” and begin to create a window that depicts important events and people in their life. The children worked hard to sketch the windows and then added the beautiful colors they observed in the original windows. They are proudly on display in the rooms and halls of the schools. Look below for summer camp and fall registration contact information.
Shabbat Shalom from our family to yours! -
Our Kadima , 3 year old students culminated the year with a family Shabbat program. Shabbat, is a central part of our program and our students eagerly look forward to celebrating Shabbat each week. The children made beautiful ritual objects to use at home as they celebrate Shabbat with their families.
Our summer camp program will begin the end of June. For information about camp call Susan Rosenberg 847.634.0363.
There are a limited number of openings in some of our classes for the fall. For more information please call Janet Sear at 847 634-0363.
