A Note from Mrs. Buc
It really was snowing, a blizzard actually by the look of this photo! Ha! This week, we were able to take part in helping to develop a Google Expedition using google cardboard, an I phone, and a Google App. The 2nd graders visually visited several biomes that we will be studying about next trimester: desert, tundra, tropical rainforest, savannah, and more! It was a very cool experience where the kids were immersed in the lesson and felt like they were actually in each of those habitats walking around!
Have a wonderful long weekend.
Shabbat Shalom!

Hebrew
Dear 2nd grade parents,
In Hebrew class, this past week, we took a deep breath and reviewed all the letters we have learned so far:
א, ו, י, נ, ן, ג, ה, ר, ב, ס, ש, ח, ק, ד, כ, ך, ז, מ, ם, ל
We practiced all the Hebrew cursive letters we know, using smart board activities and work sheets. We even took a Hebrew spelling test.
Here is a great activity to review Hebrew at home:
