Shabbat Dinner @ GRTW Academy!

Art at HAMC!

Our students create beautiful art!

A Message From the Head of School

Kindergarteners Come to their Senses

Today our Kindergarteners learned about the human “senses” of touch and feel through some festive arts and crafts projects. The first project taught the students about their sense of “touch” and what different things feel like on our hands. The students had fun painting their hands and using their handprints to create the turkey feathers on their Thanksgiving turkey pictures. The students loved the feeling of the paint on their hands and also enjoyed getting their hands messy! The second art project that the class worked on was making homemade maracas using paper plates, some “noisy” items, and colorful tissue paper decorations. The students had a blast shaking their maracas and hearing the rhythmic music they were creating.

HAMC Fall Fever!

From pumpkin projects to autumnal attire, the HAMC hallways were overflowing with the fall spirit this week!

Today our students dressed in the rich autumnal colors of orange, red, and brown and some even came in full feather headpieces, taking on the Thanksgiving spirit!

Earlier in the week, our ECC had a special unit on the Hebrew word for the color "orange"..."Katom!" The morning involved science, cooking, and art! First, all of the students sat in a circle and got to pick out special "katom" items from a special bag. Then they moved to the "magic table" where they became scientists as they watched red dye and yellow dye magically turn into orange dye! Last, but not least, our very own Chef Wolf impressively cut open a big "katom" pumpkin and our students got to see and feel what the inside of a fresh pumpkin looks and feels like. Then, as a class, the students decorated the outside of the pumpkin with markers and crayons. Who knew learning about the color orange could be so much fun!
