It is very important to come to school and learn, but we don't only come to learn academics. In Kindergarten, we take time to learn and raise awareness of some very important good Middos (character traits).
Lately, we have been discussing the Midda of "EMES" - being honest and saying the whole truth. We made puppets shows about the concept and really worked on showing the children how important it is to stick to the truth. We don't only do it because it is important but rather because it is the right, upstanding way to live and the Torah expects it from us.
We have also been learning about the good Midda called "HAKORAS HATOV" - being appreciative of the things people do for us and remembering to say thank you. This idea directly links into the concept of being thoughtful and sensitive towards the people around us. Do those words sound familiar? Yes, that is the Mitzva note we have been sending into school for the past week and this week - "My thoughtful Mitzva Note". Please remember to send a Mitzva note in to class as often as you can. Thanks you!
