In class, we are doing COVID-19 journals so that in the future, we might be able to teach people about life during a pandemic. We are also doing a bingo card where every week we need to pick a block. This week, we need to choose a news story and summarize it. I am doing the photograph square. For my news article, I am doing an article about how Shedd Aquarium let their penguins go on a tour around the aquarium. Because the Aquarium was closed to humans, the workers decided to let the penguins stretch their legs and go on a big adventure all around the aquarium. I have linked the google slides down below where you will find the images of the penguins....

i saw an article that said a lot of bus drivers are giving lunch to kids who can't leave and get food. I think it's very good what they're doing because it saves a lot of lives. These bus drivers are an example of what people should be doing. I am staying positive.  ...

          In Social Studies we are doing journal projects. This week we had to go to Time (the website) and choose an article ( that is doing an act of kindness) to write about. I decided to write about an article of people handing out breakfast and lunches to kids in need.  Here is what I wrote about this article....

Today we had another fantastic discussion with the Grade 7 students. It's time for us to "begin with the end in mind" and prepare for our future English classes. Upcoming Schedule:

Blah blah blah pupils blah blah blah eyes blah blah the eye doctor blah blah blah blah blah depth perception blah blah blah blah blah... I hear this and think to myself why am I letting my parents get away with talking about stuff I don't know about. When I was a baby if they wanted to say something without me understanding what they are saying so they started off with saying each letter, but then I learned how to read and how things are spelled and 8 years later they still don't want me to know so the do it this way. What is this? I need to figure out what all of this means. So I did a project on it. On March 5, it was Innovation Day. Myself and my partner ( this is her blog) did our project on "A Bionic Eye". What is Innovation day you ask? Well innovation day is a day of creativity. My school has a contest (sort of) were grade 6,7, and 8 make a science related project, experiment or problem in the world and they compete to win. This is my schools version of a science fair. Our project went really well. We found lots of information. we even did a survey and the results were incredible. We did lots of research on "depth perception", "angles", and "the pupil". We made a model of the human eye. On Innovation day we presented our project to our parents and our classmates parents. I am satisfied with the work I put on the board, but I feel I could have done better by putting I bit more information about how someone could use this bionic eye. I look forward to making an online replica of this bionic eye. I might even keep researching this project so my parents won't have an advantage....

Last week it was Steam Fair. Steam Fair is where you build stuff and presented it to other people. My project was called What Is The Dirtiest Place In School I found out by rubbing bread on your object which in a matter of time there will be mold. My presentation worked a little there was a dot on the bread that I rubbed on my teachers desk. the other pieces has not grown mold yet. If you don't know Steam stands for......

Innovation Day was very inspiring!!! And this is why. innovation day is a day that you work with other people or by yourself . I worked with a partner and we worked on a project called solar cars,it was environmentally friendly project. That was supposed to use a solar panel to replace and charge two batteries. We had two months to work on innovation day and our board, our board was white  with a blue tittle and a pink background with research,bibliography, our hypothesis,and our facts.In the end it did not work because the wires of the solar panel broke and it could not connect to the car.if we had more time this project could have worked very well, and saved a lot of batteries....

Hello readers! in this blog post, I will be talking about Innovation day. Innovation day is a day about science. Everyone in the school does something about science, so me and my partner did a project about a Bionic Eye. For our model, we didn't actually make an Eye that moves we got a globe and we took the plastic wrapping off of it and then we drew an eye on the globe and it turned out really well!.  Then we made our board, on our board we decided to do everything blue and green because they are colours of eyes, we could've done brown but we thought it didn't look as pretty for our board. In the end the presentation turned out amazing and it was a great experience for us....

Today we will discuss public speaking! We will review the different types of speeches (informative, entertaining, and persuasive). Students will receive more information about public speaking (due dates, check-in dates, etc.) after Passover. Click the links below to access our first public speaking sources: Intro to Public Speaking Slideshow...

Things have changed a lot. Now I’m only in my house scared to go outside. This virus is not really scaring me because now 16,000 people have died from it and almost 400,000 people have it which is a lot. But I think I will be safe if I stay in my house and don’t let anybody in is really weird because outside and I can’t go to most stores well I can’t go to any really. And I play a lot of video games and go to sleep Waymore in school so weird I have to go on this website and then we do are online work....

Please tune in for a very special OJCS Storytime session with Noah and his adorable little siblings.  He will be sharing two great Passover books; The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzah... by Leslie Kimmelman and by Evelyn Zusman.  Thank you for sharing these amazing videos with us, Noah!

Today, our final class before Pesach break, we will discuss acts of kindness and how we can make this Pesach meaningful. Additionally, we will create a day to day calendar for family activities during Pesach.   We will also create a new song using the verses from Echad Mi Yodeah.  Either a song about kindness or OJCS.  Lyrics click here...

After you finish your test, create a new version of the song Echad Mi Yodeah.  Your theme for the 13 verses should be 13 different acts of kindness. Please send both a google doc and video version to me and upload to your blogfolio...

Hi Kita Alef,  I am so proud of how you are all managing to continue learning from home these days. You are such a wonderful group of children and your ability to make others happy shines through with your little acts of kindness towards each other (your patience during our Google Meet, contacting each other to chat), your family (Helping your siblings and your parents), your teachers (sharing your thoughts and working together) and your community (like the pictures we sent Hillel Lodge Residents)..  The pictures made them very very happy. Knowing we thought of them at this time meant so much to them. Marilyn Adler wanted me to share this with you: "On behalf of the Residents of Hillel Lodge please extend a warm and appreciative thank you to all the students in Kitah Alef for creating beautiful cards to share with the Residents.  We are all aware that at this time the students are not attending school which makes it even more heartwarming to know that the Residents of the Lodge continue to be in their thoughts. Keep well and take care everyone." See you tomorrow, Morah Ada.  ...
