Dear Families,
This week as we continued our study of immigration, we read a story called The Dream Jar by Barbara Pryor. Valentina's family has moved to New York and her dad's dream is to be able to have his own store. Everyone in the family works and adds money to the "dream jar" until they have enough. All Valentina hears is that she is too little to work, until finally she realizes that she too can help. She ends up teaching English to the people in her tenement building. We discussed ideas such as what could the first and second graders do for jobs to help their families. We also discussed their dreams. Shortly, we will make our own "dream jars."
We also spent some time learning all about Martin Luther King, Jr. We shared a story, wrote adjectives to describe MLK, shared our dreams to make the world a better place, and we even played MLK Bingo with our Shabuddies.
Shabbat Shalom,
Hamorah Caren
