Grade 6 Responsibilities of Bar/Bat Mitzvah Blog Post

Once you come of age to have a bar/bat mitzvah, your life changes in many ways including, you are considered an adult and are responsible for keeping the mitzvot Able to participate in a minyan. The tallit and tefillin are important because they both represent the way we serve god. I thought that the mystery of the chilazon (which is a rare blue snail that makes tekhelet) was very interesting to learn about.

Innovation Day Reflection

Hello, I am Alex and this is my Innovation Day Reflection that I did with Gila, my project was called Crash Kar

Before starting my project, I felt nervous because I didn’t know what to make, and I wasn’t here for the first 2 weeks because I was on vacation. When we started I was excited about making the project, but I was nervous about the poster board because I’m not very good at writing or making the poster board look good. Eventually, I got less nervous about the board because I started writing and started to like it. Because I was gone for so long, I had to do more work, Gila got sick after about a week, so I had to do her work too, while she was sick I didn’t have enough time to finish the project, so I started to do it at home. I worked on the project for about 10 hours in total at home, I eventually finished the project and brought it to school, and when Gila came back she started and finished the poster board. I saw the other projects and thought, we forgot to put capitals at the beginning of sentences (some of the time), and the game fell apart a few times because it was not sturdy enough.

Thank you for reading my Innovation Day Reflection about my game Crash Kar. see you next time!

6B Three Meaningful Mitzvot – Alex

 “You should never stand by idly when a human life is in danger” (Lev. 19:16). If someone’s life is in danger, you should not stand around and not do anything. Instead you should do what you can and try to help them. If I was walking around and saw one of my friends doing something really dangerous I would ask them to stop before they get hurt or even go to the hospital.

 

You should always Respect your father and mother—Exodus 20:12   To respect your father and mother means to: listen to them when they tell you something To help them if they need help with something. You should always respect your father and mother. I respect my mom and dad by doing the dishes or cleaning my room or even cleaning the basement without them asking or even if they do just doing a really good job with cleaning

 

To honour the old and the wise means (Lev. 19:32) you should always respect the old and the wise as in helping them if they need help with something because as elderly they are sometimes not capable of doing certain stuff that younger people are, listening to them if they need anything from you or just need something. Elders are very important and we need to respect and honour them. I usually help my grandparent by helping them cook dinner or help the, with tech around the house.

S-M-A-R-T goal reflection

What is your academic goal and how much progress have you made towards your goal?

My academic goals are:

For Hebrew, I need to improve my Writing, speaking, and understanding, and for rabbinics I need to improve on listening and understanding.

I would say that in Hebrew I have gotten a lot better at writing since we write a lot in Hebrew class. I’ve probably improved a bit but not much for my speaking. then for Rabbinics, i have been listening a lot better and understanding more to.

My learning skill goals are:

to not go to the office all year, to be more organized and to not go off task.

I have not gone to the office yet this year, i have been a lot more organized with my work and my stuff, and i’ve been pretty good with not going off task

Mishpacha project

This is my michpacha project, This project is about family history, my life, and how I got my name. The Mishpacha Project provided me with an opportunity to learn more about my family history we were supposed to write about our family history, my life, and how I got my name, I interviewed my parents and asked them a bunch of different questions about our family history. This project was really interesting to me because I love learning about my family history. After all, it’s really interesting. there are a few interesting new things that I learned about my family.

  1. one of them is that my family has lived in Ireland since the 1600s and still lives there.
  2. my family speaks about 10 different languages!
  3. my name in Hebrew means son of the right-hand.

there are a few things that I could for sure change about my project, like adding more pictures and adding more words and stuff

Hello everyone and today I will be talking about my S.M.A.R.T Goals Reflection.

The first topic is,

what your Academic SMART Goals were: my first goal was to Read 10 books with 700 pages. My second goal was to build something robotic like a robot.

Use an example of what your are proud of that represents your GOALS: Some of the books that i read where 2 percy jackson books and some other books that i can’t remember
