I-Class

 As you may already know , we have a Chanukah Production  this Thursday, December 14th at  1:30.   We have a wonderful play by the 1st and 2nd grade about how the Greeks told the Jews they could not follow their Jewish traditions. We also have another play from some kids from 3rd through 6th grade showing that a little bit of light can chase away a lotg of darkness. the play is about a boy who's having a bad day. Anothr performance is a dance by the 4th through 5th grade girls showing how the Jews beat the Greeks even though there were so few Jews.While we will see all the performers, let's not forget about the guys behind the scene:Deor, David, Gilly, Eli, Zohar, and Barr who made the beautiful props for the play. We hope to see you there.

Matan, Eli, Zohar, Shir,  and Tiferet All did an exploration Prject. They did a good job!

Magic Forest was a Blast!The  3rd, 4th, and 5th grades went to Columbia. They participated in the Magic Forest Program.It was a Blast! They made paper, learned how to handle fire, by the method, stop, drop, and roll,  they saw a movie, and played a fun game! 

The twenty fifth year of school started on a high note! It is always heart warming to see excitement of parents and children returning to school especially first grade children making the big step from Kindergarten to a real classroom of First Grade with a desk and chair. We even have some new faces to add to the joy – we would like to give a warm Chabad Academy welcome to Leehe Zaroya for joining us in First Grade, and Lydia Coker who joins us in Fifth Grade! We wish al the kids a joyful and productive one. As our motto states, “Work hard, play hard”

Congratulations to our fifth grade student, Adi Gloger, for winning the Environment Art Contest by BabaGanewz in the print category.

 Thank you to the art teacher Morah Leah for encouraging the students to participate. All the entries were fabulous!

Parents were invited to join in as we had a rehearsal Passover Seder - though it almost felt like the real thing with all that grape juice, matza, vegetables, and song! Chabad Academy students are so knowledgeable and inquisitive! Thank you Morah Chanie for coordinating the event! Thank you parents, teachers, and students!

Under the clear sky each of us had a tr to roll out the flour and water dough and poke some holes. In less than eighteen minutes our Matzas were in the oven! Careful- NOT  Kosher for Passover! :)

Have a Happy and Kosher Pesach!

Thank you to Dovie, Levi, and Shoimy for running this event.
