Choir will perform for Jewish Music Week

Posted On כ״ח באייר ה׳תשע״ב (May 20, 2012) by Morah Betty

Hi All:

Our choir is having a wonderful opportunity to perform for Jewish Music week, on Friday June 8, during the lunch hour from 12 to 1. The concert will take place in a venue on top of Loblaws at St. Clair and Bathurst. This will be our very own gig, ( not shared with anyone else), so it is that much more special. The choir will be singing many tunes and the concert will be roughly 40 minutes.

If you are unable to make this special daytime event, on Thursday June 7, just prior to the Shmuel Aleph and Shmuel Bet plays at school, our choir will be singing one song, as an opener.

I am supremely proud of the work they have done this year, and their enthusiasm is spectacular.

Hope you can come and see for yourself!

On Friday, the entire school joined with people throughout the city of Toronto to make the city a greener place by taking 20 minutes to clean up!

Students made up songs and rhymes as they picked up litter. What a way to end the week with a meaningful mitzvah!

Connecting Through Art

Posted On ז׳ בשבט ה׳תשע״ב (January 31, 2012) by Morah Marissa

For the past few weeks, the SK students have been working hard to complete their mini-creation books in art class. As we have spent a great deal of time learning about the 7 days of creation, the students immersed themselves in this reflective piece at the end of our unit. Through art, the students represented each of the things that God created on each day of creation and grappled with the challenge of representing “light” (Day 1) and “Shabbat” (Day 7) through art.

Once these books were complete, the SK students had an amazing opportunity to connect with the Grade 3 class to share with them all that they had learned about the 7 days of creation. Putting on their teacher hats, the SK students showed off their books and explained what was created on each day and how they chose to represent each one in their mini-creation book.

Here are some photos from that exciting morning:
