The Happy Holiday Of Sukkot

Rabbi Tsipi told us that Sukkot is the one holiday in the Torah that commands us to be happy. I wish all of you a good holiday and to enjoy the beauty of the Fall and of the new fruits and harvest. We are having these wonderful holidays and yet, the learning process must go on in order for us to finish our fifth grade curriculum by the end of the school year. With that in mind, I need to announce that there will be a math quiz for my math group this Friday, October 17,  and a history test on Friday, October 24th. We are spending class time to study for the history test but students will need to review their notes and outlines in the days before the test. I will be sending home a study sheet listing all the topics that will be on the test and the three essay questions this Thursday.  Some students have some math to finish tonight, due Thursday.  They need to finish Textbook page 32 (#’s 7-14) and workbook page 30. Most of this assignment was done in class.
