Try picking out one word that would describe your past year. Now, try doing that to set an intention for the coming year. With Rosh Hashana around the corner, its great time for reflection and goal setting. With the coming year coinciding with the Jewish new year, at our first elementary assembly, on Rosh Chodesh Elul, this is exactly what our students set out to do.
After reading the book "One Word for Kids: A Great Way to Have the Best Year Ever", they chose a word that exemplifies the goals and intentions they want to enter this school year with. We saw words like success, listening, love, and happy. They designed suncatchers with their word that are no hanging in the school hallway. Be sure to check them out next time you visit!
