Weekly Update:
9/26/25
Hello Chatoolim Families,
This week was short and sweet. We have been reading a lot of books that help the kiddos understand the upcoming holiday, Yom Kippur. A few notable books we read this week were "How To Apologize" by David LaRochelle and "The Hardest Word" by Jaqueline Jules. Yom Kippur is a time to reflect on the choices we made the past year and promise to do better in the new year. Next week we will continue to talk about Yom Kippur and introduce Sukkot.
Warmly,
Teachers Danielle and Jennifer
Conversation Starters:
What is the hardest word? (sorry)
When we hurt someone, what can we do to make it better?
How do you feel when someone says "I'm sorry" to you?

Teacher Recommendation Form Guidelines
Teacher Rec forms for Mechina Families.pdfBirthday Celebrations:
To make your child's day special, each teacher will do a little something to make him/her feel special i.e, read a book, make a crown and/or a special leadership opportunity. As Shabbat takes precedence, we will not celebrate birthdays on Fridays. Please email your classroom teacher to determine the appropriate birthday plan and possible treat item (either one, food or nonfood) for your child’s special day. While we encourage nonfood items (ex. stickers, box of crayons, donate books to the classroom), if you feel so inclined to send a food item, this needs to be individually wrapped. Be sure to ask your child’s teacher if anyone in the class has a food allergy. We ask that you NOT cubby birthday party invitations or birthday party thank you notes.
