WONDER

Did you ever wonder what Rosh Hashanah has to do with the Metric System? There are so many age-appropriate ways that Schechter students learn about the holiday of Rosh Hashanah…. Get the scoop from age two through 8th grade! Learn about the clever ways that Anafim (gr. 1-2) teacher Bree Usher uses to strengthen students’ writing skills. Plus, Middle School students get down in the dirt to examine life in many forms. All this, plus Rabbi Berger’s thoughts about the parashah in this week’s Schechter Shavua!

As the school year kicks off, Schechter’s youngest students develop routines to support their independence and growth. Something as simple as lunchtime, for example, is a great opportunity for our Nitzanim students (EC2) to develop fine motor skills, socialize with one another, and even start to learn to sing ha motzi! Meanwhile, our new Kindergarteners and other new Schechter students officially became part of a Schechter favorite (Shevet groups!) and older students are spreading their wings as they become more inquisitive in science class.
