On Friday, our kehillah (3rd and 4th grade) had their Milestone. At KSA Milestones are the big events for each grade/kehillah. Third grade's focus is receiving their first book of Torah, or Chumash, since it's in 3rd grade at our school the kids formally begin their Torah study. The 4th graders learned about midrashim, or stories and commentaries that are written to answer questions in the text.
My kids decorated their chumash covers. They took such pride in them and I know it means they will cherish them always.
The whole kehillah led the parents and guests in our morning t'fillot (prayers). They did such a great job and it got the morning off to a beautiful start.
After that, I presented my class with their chumashim. They were clearly so proud and that made me so proud - lots of kvelling going around, that is for sure!
My class then did a play about the parsha we studied so far this year,
Lech Lecha. It turned out cute and the parents loved it. After that the 4th graders led study sessions for their part of the event and we all enjoyed a lovely breakfast to celebrate the occasion.
Such a special morning. The kids did great and it was a true celebration of what they have learned!
