UPCOMING Parshat Va’eira By: Rabbi Landsman

2-207 Chumash Presentation

We are proud of class 2-207 for receiving their first Chumash this past Sunday. They
have worked so hard by rehearsing their parts and practicing singing the songs. The play
was about the first days of creation and each child had a part that had to do with each
day. They sang beautifully and acted out their parts perfectly. They had a lot of fun
dancing, laughing and learning about the creation of the world. The children wore cos-
tumes and took pictures for the Chagigat HaChumash. We want to congratulate the class
for doing so well and making Morah Rachel and their parents very happy. The Chumash
play was a success and we cannot wait to learn the Torah from our new Chumashim. Way
to go class 2-207!!!

2-204 Chumash Presentation

This past Sunday class 2-204 received their Chumashim for the very first time at the an-
nual Second Grade Chumash Presentation. The class put on a spectacular play revealing
just how much Ivrit they have learned this year. After the play, the children were called
up to the stage individually to receive a Chumash with their name engraved on it, a goody
bag and a beautiful framed picture taken with their Morot and principals. Following the
ceremony, everyone was invited to the gym for a collation. Many thanks to Morah Dina
Winchester, Rabbi Lipsker, Rabbi Hamel, and parent representatives for making this day
so memorable!

E2K Googled!

On Tuesday, December 17th, our 7th grade E2K group was invited to visit Google’s offices
in Manhattan. We were met at the entrance by Dr. Wein, who had so graciously invited
the group to visit after we finished our module on programming. After a tour of the in-

credible facilities led by Dr. Wein and a
colleague of his, the students were
privileged to meet one of the women
responsible for having created the
Scratch program at MIT that we had
used in learning to program. A few of
our students showcased some of the
programming work they had done. We
also met a programmer who works
with creating robots. He regaled us
with stories of the antics of his robots
and showed us a Lego Mindstorm ro-
bot that he brought with him.
