7th Grade News
Reported by Meira Tova Cohen
The 7th grade has learned so much this year, and the year
isn’t even over! In Chumash with Mrs. Pinkus, we are
learning how to decipher Rashi. In Ivrit, we have been
perfecting our skills so that we can start to learn a new
part of the language. With Mrs. Abowitz, we learned that
Navi can teach us many lessons. We have explored many
challenging questions. We can’t wait to see what the rest
of the year has in store for us.
7th Grade News
Reported by Baila Kost
7th Grade Chanukah was the best! We did so many things
and learned so much. On the first day of Chanukah we
made cookbooks with Mrs. Pinkus to present to our
mothers. Everyone contributed a recipe and we made
envelopes out of thick, pretty paper to hold the recipes. It
was fun and pretty! Tuesday night we had a Leil Limud
night of learning. Our mothers, grandmothers, aunts or
sisters were invited and we learned together. We
presented a song production with a bunch of Israeli
Chanukah songs put together by Morah Abowitz. On
Wednesday, we went ice-skating and ate donuts. It was so
fun! On Thursday, we had a brunch with lots of yummy
food. Thank you to Mrs. Porush and Mrs. Feiler for
sponsoring. Thank you Mrs. Abowitz and Mrs. Pinkus for
making this Chanukah the best ever!

Ivrit News
Reported by Rabbi Spector
Rabbi Spector’s Ivrit classes are really booming! Some of
the exciting things include but are not limited to practicing
Hebrew skits and dialogues, memorizing sayings with their
translations, becoming more fluent in vocabulary words
and phrases, practicing ordering foods in a restaurant or a
pizza shop using dictionaries, and using Chrome books to
create their own sentences and translating songs into Ivrit.
Rabbi Spector is talking to us more and more in Hebrew
and expecting more Hebrew from us. We’re on our way to
a totally Ivrit Play, or a complete “Ivrit Class in Hebrew”
day! Kol Hakavod l’kol Talmidei Ivrit b’kitot zayin v’chet!
5th Grade News
Reported by Chanie Shenker and Kira Strick
In Mrs. Schur’s class we finally got to do the fun pages we
have been working on. Each set of partners was assigned
2 lists of Ivrit words to make a fun page. There was
matching, unscrambling, word searches, and more. We are
almost finished with Perek Vov in Navi!
Reported by Hadassah Altman, Deena Weil, and Shuli Falk
On Monday
it was Rosh
Chodesh
and we had
a
special
treat.
We
had Rosh
Chodesh
cupcakes!
There were
chocolate
with mint icing or caramel, lemon with vanilla frosting, and
a chocolate dreidel with coconut. They were delicious! We
have finished all the Klallim for Kriyah! We are so excited
to move on to the next book in Kriyah.
We also had our dress rehearsal for Shiras Devorah on
Monday. On Tuesday we had our real show for Shiras
Devorah. Then everyone found their family and they went
to their classroom to have the cast party. There was a lot
of food to eat and everyone enjoyed it. We are looking
forward to hearing Shiras Devorah read in Shul next
Shabbos for the Haftorah. We will get a special prize after
vacation from Mrs. Dubovick if we hear the Haftorah in
Shul. Have a great vacation and Shabbos!

6th Grade News
Reported by Mrs. Spiliopoulos
...And the Rosh Chodesh Raffle Winner in
Mrs. Reiss's class is...
Aliza Rosen!!!
WE are so happy for you :)
Dian Fossey, Galileo Galilei, and
Steve Irwin were all very impressive
scientists. In December the 6th
graders were each assigned a
famous scientist to research. The
students gathered information
from the Web and presented
their findings in a Google slide
show. This week, the 6th
graders
shared
their
outstanding slide shows with
their classmates. They had a
marvelous time learning about
all the different scientists, and
the great contributions that they
made
to
the
science
world.

4th Grade News
Reported by Miss Garen
In Miss Garen's fourth grade boys
reading class, we had a 3 week
unit on the story of the Titanic! We
read articles about the creation of
the Titanic, the unfortunate
sinking, and some survivors' stories
of their experience on the Titanic!
We then worked in small groups to
do a "scoot" station activity.
We each received our very
own ticket to "go aboard" the
Titanic, and were randomly
chosen to either be a part of
first, second, or third class. In
our "classes" we were given
pictures
and
artifacts from the
Titanic and had to
be detectives to
try and figure out
what the artifacts
were and how
they related to the
Titanic. Our class
LOVED this unit and want to
share with you pictures from
our "scoot" station experience
on the Titanic!
4th Grade News
Reported by Devorah Winner and Esti Aronson
Hi! How was your week? This week in room 405, we were
practicing songs and motions for Shiras Devorah. Our
presentation was Tuesday morning, and everyone did
great! With Mrs. Whisler, we started oceanography. In
reading, we just finished The Hundred Dresses book, and
last Friday we made our own dresses with real material!
See you in the Yediot after vacation! Have a good
Shabbos!
4th Grade News
Reported by Yona Kaufman and Baylee Ashkanazy
We’ve been very busy in Mrs. Camras’s class. In math we
are continuing with long division and estimating with
decimals. We’ve been learning about plankton, seaweed
and the different zones in oceanography. Last Friday, we
designed our dresses using fabric and trim which we
brought from home. They turned out so gorgeous! Our
spelling test this week is in cursive. Have a great winter
break and a good Shabbos.

Botball is an action packed robotics competition for middle and highschool students that develops excitement, knowledge, and practical
understanding through hands-on experience with science, technology,
engineering, and math. (See http://botball.org for more information.)
The robots are autonomous --- no remote control is used. Instead,
students learn to program their robots in advance using C, a widely used
programming language in industry and academia. Students also build
the robots, using a kit of parts that is provided. In addition,
communication skills are exercised through submission of
documentation. No prior experience is required.
The Greater Chicago Regional Botball competition will kick off with an
optional workshop Sunday—Monday, January 17—18 at Loyola, and
will conclude with a tournament on Sunday, April 10 at the Museum of
Science and Industry.
Students in 6th grade or above are encouraged to sign up through the
form at http://bit.ly/botball16 . To cover the costs involved, there is a
suggested donation of $50.00 pre participant. This donation should be
given to Dr. Ronald Greenberg or Jeffrey Karp and made out to Dr.
Ronald Greenberg.
