Our visual calendar / schedule :) The smiley face moves from day to day. New moon to rep Rosh Chodesh. The month shown was Aug so we had symbols for camp and reg days. If I forget to move the smiley face the kids do it for me :)

Trip to a working farm.

About twelve students attended a virtual party to help Rabbi Resnick celebrate his birthday. Words of wisdom were shared, a new fruit and other refreshments were enjoyed, and a good time was had by all.

Amazing virtual Chanukah party with menorah show & tell, silly games, stories and live music by Rabbi Resnick, and, of course, refreshments.

At the beginning of the 2009-10 homeschool year, we got inspired to make weekly parsha displays and act out the scenes using our "Mitzvah Kinder" dolls and miscellaneous other props and scenery. We kept it up for a while and hope to fill in the gaps this year. Here is the first display we did: Parshas Vayeira. Avraham Avinu is welcoming the three guests (malachim). Sarah Imeinu is in the tent.
