5th GRADE MIDDOT PROGRAM FINISHING FOR THE YEAR
We are completing our last Middot workshops for the year. We will celebrate our learning and dedication to our spiritual and
emotional growth by making a ‘siyum’ of sorts. On Monday, May 22, we will complete the middah of proactivity while we
enjoy some refreshments and snacks. Many of our students exemplified beautiful middot. Some of the other students planted a
seed to begin thinking about ways to better themselves as they grow and mature. We look forward to improving and running
the program annually in 5th grade. Yasher Koach to Rabbi Josh Rohr for the original idea and some of the classroom content of
the middot program and to Mrs. Michali Friedman, LCSW who created the power points and structure of the program. In
addition, special thanks to Mrs. Davidovics and the social work team and interns for teaching and leading the program in the
classrooms. They did a terrific job.

Mishmar Groups and Sunday Morning Learning Participants Go to Mets Game

All of the grades 4-8 students that participated in the after school Mishmar Program as well as the Sunday
Morning Learning went to a Mets game at Citifield. These students made a commitment to spend time
learning additional Torah in addition to what they learn during school hours. We are so proud of the
learning they do and derive so much Nachat from our students!

Class Placement Request Form

We hope this letter finds you well and that your children have had a meaningful academic
school year, one of intellectual growth, maturity and social development. As the school year
comes to a close, we will once again begin the important task of properly placing our children in
the most appropriate academic and social environment for the upcoming school year.

Our Yeshiva maintains a philosophy of grouping students in a heterogeneous setting. The
heterogeneous classroom is rich in diversity; academically, socially, culturally and

geographically. Studies have shown that heterogeneity cultivates a variety of skills that assist
our students in each stage of development. Children learn to adapt to new environments, build
social skills, and benefit from exposure to other learning styles.

We are fully aware of how important it is for children to feel a sense of familiarity and

belonging as they begin a new school year with new teachers and a more challenging

curriculum. As our Yeshiva is firmly committed to maintaining strong communication and a
partnership with families, we are asking you to suggest three names of students with whom
your child would feel comfortable in the classroom setting. Please make sure to complete a new
form for each of your children. We will guarantee at least one of those three students, but three
students MUST be listed in order for us to help you. This information will assist our teachers
and administrators as they work on creating the best possible atmosphere for each child. When
children sense that their parents, teachers and administrators are working closely together in a
sincere effort to best place them, the results are sure to be positive.

We recognize that children grow and develop from year to year. For this and other reasons, we
will reassess our groupings on an annual basis, with continued input and communication. It is
important to remember that when students meet new people and learn in new environments,
they are less likely to form inappropriate group dynamics and more likely to redefine their
individual roles maintaining their identity.

Please click on the link to access the class placement form http://www.ycqweb.com/
ClassPlacementForm to be completed no later than Friday, May 19. Feel free to include any
pertinent information that will assist us in the placement process. Should you be interested in
discussing your child’s class placement please feel free to make an appointment with Rabbi
Landsman, by contacting Hadas Fried at 718-793-8500 ext 310.
Thank you for your cooperation and your patience in this matter. We wish you a safe, happy
and healthy summer.

Sincerely,

Yeshiva of Central Queens Administration
