The only answer could be..."Science is Happening Day"!! Our 4th graders were tried with the mission of constructing a casing that would cushion and protect an egg from a one story drop. Moreh Moshe and Moti dropped the encased eggs from the school rooftop while we all awaited the results. While we did witness some SPLATTS!, many of the eggs landed safely. The 5th graders had to create parachutes with everyday materials that would stay up in the air for as long as possible. We watched each parachute smoothly float down from the rooftop. Science was definitely "happening" at the HAMC!

Frogs Here...Frogs There...
Today our 7th Graders embarked on one of the most exciting science projects that we do at the HAMC...Frog Dissection!! The students split up into groups and Mrs. Wynn distributed the frogs, instruction packets and dissection tools. The 7th Grade can't wait to jump right into this "froggy" experiment as the week goes on!
4th Graders Go Back in Time to the Colonial Days
"Hear ye! Hear ye!
Welcome to the Fourth Grade Colonial Fair!
Our 4th Graders have gone back in time to the Colonial days of the 1700's in New Jersey. We have converted our classroom into many craft shoppes for you to visit. In those days, master craftsmen would take young apprentices and teach them their trade. Our 4th grade town has many talented craftsmen too, and we want YOU to be our apprentices! Every shoppe has interesting things for you to SEE and DO.
Be sure to visit our Calligrapher, Potpourri Shoppe, Toymaker, Potter, Broom Maker, Apothecary, Baker, School Master, Tinsmith, Stenciler, Weaver and Candler!
Please try to visit them all and HAVE FUN!"
Tzeitchem L'Shalom to Lior and Noga...
Yesterday we said goodbye to our Rishonim, Lior and Noga, after an incredible year of learning about Israel and its culture with them. As a final activity, they planned for us אם כל ההפסקות, "The Recess of all Recesses" where they encompassed all of the awesome activities that we have done over the year into one amazing recess! We ate chummus and pita, relived the Tel Aviv Beach, danced to Israeli music and so much more! Lior and Noga also put together a beautiful slide show of pictures and videos that capture their time spent with us at the HAMC (see video below).
Lior and Noga, we will miss you so much and we will see you in Israel! B'hatzlacha Rabah!!

Congratulations to our Torah Competition Winners!
Our 6th, 7th and 8th Graders have spent the past six months studying and preparing for Moreh Moshe's Biblical Knowledge Test. They worked so hard learning a number of Jewish texts and applied that information to a series of tests that progressively got more and more difficult as the rounds advanced.
The results are in...and the winners of the competition are...Eli Gnesin, Sarah Lily Stein and Jesse Kellar!!
Mazal Tov!

2nd Grade Chumash Play!
Congratulations to the 2nd Grade on receiving their very own Chumashim!
The enthusiasm and energy that the students exuded throughout the entire Chumash Play program was incredible. It was obvious how excited they were to finally receive their chumashim after all of their hard work preparing for the day. Mazal Tov!

5th Grade Explores the USA
A Message from 5th Grade teacher, Mrs. Marash:
On May 23, 2012 the 5th Grade presented their research reports in our annual States Festival; each student had to research one state. For ten weeks the children researched twenty-five facts using books, almanacs, encyclopedias, the Internet and i-Pads to aid them in completing their project. The class's beautiful finished products were displayed and discussed during the festival. The children also sang and shared snacks from their states.
I was totally impressed by the class's diligence and enthusiasm during the research and at the presentation. The 5th Grade did an outstanding job and I am so proud of them.
