4th Grade News
By Adina Berkovitz, Rochel Gertz, Rivky Belsh

In Mrs. Dubovick’s Kittah Daled, we went to Mrs. Reiss’s
class for the first time and we learned a “Mama Rochel”
song and made a project for Rochel Imeinu’s yahrtzheit.
We did our second project this year also. We made a
stained glass project of Rochel Imeinu’s Kever. We also
started Perek Bais in Chumash. We made a wheel of
events in Navi and we are learning lots of new songs.
We all did nicely on our first Chumash test! We are
learning a lot in Chumash! We’re having a lot of fun in
fourth grade! Have a good Shabbos!

Avraham Aveinu visits to teach the yeladim all about
the Mitzvah of Hachnasas Orchim!
The Pre-Nursery yeladim explored different types of transportation in conjunction with Parshas Lech Lecha!
The yeladim enjoyed sorting
vehicles by whether they travel
on land, water, or air; singing,
dancing and acting out
transportation songs; painting
with the wheels of different
vehicles; creating a camel for
Avraham's travel to Eretz
Canaan; and following a pictorial
recipe to make trail mix for their
own (real or imaginary) travels!
Early Childhood practices the Mitzvah of
Hachnasas Orchim in honor of Parshas Vayeira!
Everyone had the chance to welcome other friends to their classrooms for treats, games, and other fun
activities to enjoy with their guests!
In K108 we learned that Avraham served his guests (3 malachim) a meal which included butter. To
experience how butter was probably made in Avraham's time, we made it the old fashioned way. We
poured cream into containers which were passed around, each child shaking as hard as possible. We
noted the change in the consistency of the liquid during the process. It took about five minutes until we
noticed changes and about ten minutes until the cream solidified into a spreadable consistency.
Yeladim identified differences between a liquid and solid, i.e.; a liquid can be poured but a solid cannot.
They observed that the butter began as a liquid and ended up as a solid. Crackers served with fresh
butter was a great morning snack!
Chug a Chug a Choo-Choo!
The yeladim take a ride on the Skokie Swift in
honor of Parshas Lech Lecha. This was a great
way to end our transportation exploration!
