GRADE FIVE
PLAYMAKERS
Older students build confidence and interpersonal
skills as they mentor and lead outdoor games
with the younger ones during recess. Playmakers
teach students how to play games and about good
sportsmanship, fairness, problem-solving and
teamwork. And they have fun in the process!
GYMNASTICS CLUB
Things are hopping — and leaping, tumbling,
spinning and balancing as the gymnastics club
takes the floor during lunchtime. Older kids help
the younger ones use low beams, vaults, mats
and more.
ISRAEL ENGAGEMENT
At RHA, Israel is not just a subject, it's integrated into
everything we teach. Students learn about Israel's
history, geography, multicultural mosaic, literature and
economic realities. Students explore contemporary
Israeli society from innovations and technology to arts
and culture. Parents are invited to a deeply moving
tribute to Eretz Yisrael led by the Grade 5 students.
ROSH CHODESH
Students lead their first Rosh Chodesh service in Beth
Tzedec's Hendeles Chapel. It is a celebration of our t'fillah
leaders as they recite the blessings for an aliyah and chant
from the Torah. The service connects our children with the
spirituality of prayer and lays the groundwork for their Bar
or Bat Mitzvah year. Mazal Tov!
