GEFEN the “Daydreamer”: She is definitely a wild spirit adapting well to the “Rochic” style of teaching. Gefi is a passionate socializer with a slew of friends every day taking turns inviting her to play at their homes. One of the most exciting events in her young life occurred at her Gan Chova recently: Gefen was playing near the school fence with friend Ronnie & decided to put her head between two metal bars. Well, of course, her head became stuck! The teachers & the class came over to see Gefen’s predicament & no one knew what to do. The teachers were ready to call the fire dept. when they realized that in order to put your head between bars successfully one must do the reverse to get it out. During this problem-solving moment Gefi remained in a quiet state of shock until Rochic (her head teacher) & Sara pushed her head thru the bars & released her. There was great excitement & relief among the teachers & 30+ kids. Gefi was the talk of the Gan for days! A big question remains… will Gefen attempt this again or has she learned her lesson!?
BEN. Ben, recently 7, is enjoying his 1st year at Moledet school & the after-school program. He has made many new friends & has a keen interest in math. Ben now reads in both English & Hebrew. He loves riding his “big boy” bike, a birthday gift from his parents; he still uses his old bike to race & jump ramps. Ben was very excited as well to receive a skateboard for his birthday from Grandma & Papa. Ben is a “chip off the ole block” in his love for breakdancing like his “Pops” used to do with his red Addidas outfit at Clovernook Park (Milwaukee) in 1982!
ELA. Without bragging, we admit that Ela is a child prodigy, full of life with deep thoughts for a 27 mo. old. She loves to help clean around the house & at Gan Orna; she is obsessed with using wet-wipes on everything. She knows the colors, most animals, speaks both English & Hebrew well & actually knows which language to speak to various people. Ela is the life of the party at Gan & has many good friends. She loves making ready for Shabbat; recently when she left Gan on Thursday she realized there would be no class on Friday, she asked for a Shabbat chalah!
