ECE Pre-K Planting Unit
To kick off the planting unit (which coincides with Tu-B'shvat), each Pre-K child potted and planted their own plant.  The children were able to choose from tomato, green bean, or beet seeds. As they care for their plants and learn more about the stages of growth and development, the children will observe and document the process. Full Album

BMZE Ruach As the talmidim are more than halfway through the zman, close kesharim have developed between the younger chevra and the older ones. This achdus is apparent in the Bais Medrash, when the talmidim are just talking in learning, and during the off-time they spend together. It was beautiful to see over a dozen talmidim organize their own trip to Orlando together during last week's extended off-Shabbos.
