Dear Parents:
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and enjoyed your extra day
off! Thank you to all those parents who came out to meet with us on our two
nights of conferences. We always enjoy these meeting and sharing stories,
thoughts, and strategies.
Preparations for Chanukah are in full force. The children are hearing
stories, singing songs, and making beautiful projects to help in the
celebration of this chag!
We are beginning our unit on number recognition. Chanukah is a great time to
count and use numbers. Our study of numbers will continue throughout the
year, and we will soon move from patterning into number recognition and one-
to-one correspondence.
This week’s parsha is Parshat Vayishlach. In this week’s parsha, Yaakov
returns to Eretz Canaan from Eretz Charan. Once in Eretz Canaan, Yaakov is
told that his brother Eisav is coming with an army of 400 men. Yaakov does
three things to prepare for his encounter with Eisav. The children have made
a chart to help remind them what Yaakov did.
This week’s emahot are Naomi and Agam; the avot are Orel and Hersch.
Important Reminders:
• Picture retakes will be December 9 at 9:00 a.m.
• We try to go outside everyday so please make sure that your child has
a warm coat, hat, gloves, and boots (if necessary).
• Please make sure that your child’s change of clothing is appropriate
for the season and the correct size.
Shabbat Shalom!
