This past Monday, Rambam played host to a special assembly hearing Maria Ntourlia, the Tri-State Area High School Coordinator for StandWithUs, speak.
The entire Central community was invited to school on Wednesday morning for the Annual Family Yom Iyun with Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz, Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshiva University. The morning began with t’filah and a light breakfast of fruit and yummy doughnuts.
Integrating Chanukah throughout general studies’ learning added “an extra spin” all week at BYQ! Although every grade celebrated with Chanukah activities, here are some highlights. The first graders thoroughly enjoyed their special Chanukah-themed activities! The girls spun dreidels and created graphs to show their results. What a fun way to explore graphs! They practiced writing adjectives to describe delicious Chanukah foods and beautiful Chanukah pictures of doughnuts, menorahs, and latkes. Reading practice turned into a Chanukah activity when the girls spun a dreidel that had a consonant blend on each side. They wrote words beginning with those blends on their own paper dreidels. The girls matched flames and candle numerals to their number words and glued them on to a menorah.
Yeshivat Merkaz HaTorah was glowing with Chanukah Festivities this past week! The preschool classes learned special songs and dances with Morah Rena Greenberg in honor of Chanukah and performed beautifully for their mothers. The school was decorated with many different Chanukah decorations and children’s work, which set the tone for this beautiful chag! Each child received special treats and refreshments in celebration. After learning all about the story of Chanukah and preparing for this special party, our students had so much fun creating different projects and menorahs using Clics, Blocks, Magna-Tiles, and baking Chanukah treats during the week of Chanukah!
Students at the Bnos Malka Academy became documentary producers on Monday and Tuesday of Chanukah. Students were grouped into fours and fives to interview survivors of the Holocaust, and they videoed their responses in order to share their story and document it for future generations.
Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe recently sponsored two amazing speeches in the Great Neck and West Hempstead communities by Charlie Harary. Crowds packed both events, and all in attendance went home with new perspectives and inspiration.
