January 20 in Grade 5

Shalom everyone.

Sunday was all about Tu Bishvat!

We talked about the Mitzvah of Bal Tashchit: how we are commanded to take care of nature and not allowed to cut down trees. We talked about the 7 species that Israel is blessed with, and the reason for celebrating a birthday for the trees. We played some Snakes and Ladders with Hebrew words for the holiday and made some centerpieces with the help of grade 4.
