Shma Books with Kindergarten

On Monday morning, the 4th and 5th graders had the opportunity to present their Shma books to the kindergartners. This has been a project they have been working on for the past few months in Iyyun Tefillah (Tefillah Study). It was a culmination of our year-long learning about the first paragraph of the Shma: the students already knew how to say the words, and now they know what the words actually mean. Over the course of the year, different rabbis and guests came to speak to the class about all of the phrases, and the students took notes on their presentations. They wrote about what they learned in their Shma books, and then taught the information to the kindergartners, who are just starting to learn about the Shma. Kol Hakavod!
