Hello Eytzim Families,
Shana Tovah ! We hope you had a wonderful holiday, filled with family, friend, laughter and of course Temple!
On monday we began making our Shofars.
We welcomed back the New Year by continuing the shofars and we made a giant pomegranate. The children used white and red crepe paper to make the skin and flesh, then they used tweezers to drop colored popcorn kernels to create the pomegranate seeds. Remember, there are 613 seeds that corresponds with the number of mitzvahs in the Torah.
On Friday we made challahs. The children are enjoying kneading and braiding the dough, but this time we finish it up by making it round and adding raisins to make it super sweet!
We hope you have an amazing weekend.
Next week we will continue on Yom Kippur, and begin to learn about Sukkot.
Remember !!! Wednesday is early dismissal. Pick up is at 11:30 and We are closed for Yom Kippur. We wish you an easy fast.
Love,
Your Teachers,
Jackie & Michelle
ONE QUICK NOTE!!
Please pack an extra snack if your child stays for late care.

Teacher Recommendation Form Guidelines
Birthday 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.
