Yom Ha'atzmaut!

Happy Yom Ha’atzmaut!

The last several classes have focused on the spring time Jewish holidays! We created Purim puppets and performed a Purim skit for each other, the whole school participated in planning and executing the chocolate seder, and most recently we learned about Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day. In addition to discussing the historical events that lead to this great day, we sang and danced in celebration (while checking out this cool video! http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2011/05/wave-your-flag-israel-independence-day.html) as well as made some Star of David origami. Feel free to try it at home with this link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZexOuT-sjx0
