We are starting to prepare for our final photography project. We discussed values, Jewish values, and what makes a community. This week, the students are supposed to take many pictures that show part of their communtiy. They could take any other pictures also, as we will look at all the pictures and narrow down which picture each student wants to use for his/her project.

Today we read a story that asked the question, “what is the most precious thing in the world?” The scrolls we created in response to the story helped to answer the question. Feel free to discuss further with your child.
