Upcoming Mount Vernon Field Trip We will be going on a field trip to Mount Vernon on May 9th. Click here to go to our Forms and Handouts page if you would like a printout. The form is under 'Special Programs.' Elementary Zayit Class 5/3/13 Dear Parents, I think that spring is finally here to stay, and with these lovely temperatures, we'll be eating our lunches outside. Because we're out from 11:45 - 12:45 and the sun is directly overhead at this time, you may want to send a hat or sunscreen to school with your child. As you know we're going to Mt. Vernon May 9th for an all day field trip. Your child should have a bag of some sort or backpack with a brown bag lunch and something to drink, remember it's an all day trip. Please check the weather forecast for the day in case jackets or sweaters are needed. The kids will have time to sketch so they may want to bring a special sketch book or colored pencils. I will also have clipboards, paper and colored pencils for anyone who needs them. Enjoy the weather, Pat Kruse Elementary Zayit Judaics 5/3/13 It was good to see many of you at the Lag B’Omer picnic on Sunday! We are enjoying the consistency of a regular schedule at Elementary, and have been using the time to learn. We have spoken about the Parsha this week- Behar and Bechukotai. There is a lot of technical information in these Parshiot, and so we did not discuss it all. We did speak about the Shmittah years, which still are kept in Israel. Shabbat Shalom, Miriam |
