Dear Parents,

Fourth grade is busy learning about Tu Bishvat. This week we learned about machzorim, cycles in nature and focused on the water cycle. We have also been learning about the shivas haminim, the seven special fruits that Israel is blessed with, and describing the different areas of Israel where they grow.

Thursday, January 24, will be Israel Day in our class. The students were instructed to bring an item from home that reminds them of Israel. It can be a souvenir, photo, something made in Israel, or simply something that reminds them of Israel.

Please help your child select an item that they will feel proud to share with the class.
