Let's go to the SUPREME COURT

In Social Studies we are learning about "Our Country." It is the perfect time to learn about "Our Country" because the Presidential Elections are right around the corner. The class has been learning about what Congress, Supreme Court, and the President do. In class we learned that the President makes sure the laws are followed, that Congress  makes the laws, and the Supreme Court makes sure the laws are fair.  The kids spent time making up their own laws and writing them down. We took all those laws and made a chart, from which we picked four silly laws and four serious laws. We are holding a Supreme Court hearing to see if the proposed laws should be passed. 

One of the silly laws: : "Second grade should eat Mochi ice-cream every Wednesday for breakfast."
Serious law: "You should never open the door for strangers."

This is great hands on activity, and the kids are having a great time doing it.

Properties of Matter


In Science we are learning about The Properties of Matter. Our first Experiment of the year was to see what happens when we Mix Oil with Water. First we gathered all of our materials. 
                                                                                                                                      
Materials: 

  • Oil
  • Water
  • Measuring Cup
  • Food Coloring
  • Containers
  • Science Notebooks


The children were broken up into groups and they each had a chance to try part of the experiment. Before they started the experiment they had to make a Hypothesis. After they were finished the had to come up with conclusions as to what actually happened during the experiment.   Take a look at the awesome pictures of our wonderful scientists.

What fun learning all about the Holidays!


Dear parents,

I hope you had a nice and uplifting Holiday!

In school the past few weeks were packed with learning why we celebrate each holiday and what we do to celebrate. In addition we made lots of projects for the children to use at home.
Some of the projects we made were honey jars for Rosh Hashana, , Lulav and Esrog sets for Sukos,  Edible  Sukahs which the children got to eat in class and Flags for Simchas Torah when when we dance with the Torah.

Now that we are back to school I would like to encourage you to continue taking the time to supervise your child when they do their reading and writing Homework to ensure ultimate success.

Feel free to contact me with any concerns,

Morah Mushky
