- במהלך הפעילות למדתי כמה טכנולוגיה יכולה להיות מועילה אך גם ראיתי את החשיבות של לעשות דברים בעצמנו.
- הרובוט גדעון הראה כמה החיים יכולים להיות קלים אך לימד גם שהסתמכות יתרה על קיצורי דרך עלולה לגרום לאובדן מיומנויות חשובות.
- נהניתי מהסיפור בגלל ההומור והמסר שלו.
- אני ממליץ עליו לחבריי לכיתה בזכות השיעורים והמחשבות שהוא מעורר.
Hebrew story “Gideon, Do it for me”
- During the activity, I learned how helpful technology can be while also understanding the importance of doing things ourselves.
- Gideon the robot showed how life can become easier, but also highlighted the risks of relying too much on shortcuts and losing essential skills.
- I enjoyed the story for its humor and meaningful message.
- I would recommend it to classmates for its interesting lessons and the thoughts it inspires.
המתנה של אתנה
.קראתי את הסיפור המעניין על איך אתנה הפכה לפטרונית של העיר אתונה
- .מדוע בחרו באתנה? הם בחרו באתנה כי היא נתנה להם עץ זית, שאפשר להשתמש בו למאכל, לשמן, לחימום וגם כסמל לשלום
- .מה למדתי מהסיפור? למדתי שעדיף לתת מתנה שחושבים עליה ושימושית לעתיד, כמו עץ הזית של אתנה
- .האם אהבתי את הסיפור? כן, נהניתי ממנו, אפילו שהוא לא לגמרי מדויק. יש בו דברים מעניינים ומיוחדים
- .האם הייתי ממליץ עליו? כן
Bar/Bat Mitzvah questions
Today we learned about Bar/ Bat Mitzah. I was asked some questions, here they are:
How does life change once you reach the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah? You have more responsibilities once you become Bar/Bat Mitzvah Like: you are required to wear a tallit for prayer, fasting, tzedaka, and completing as well as following other mitzvot.
Why are the tallit and tefillin important? The tallit and tefillin represent Judaism, reminding us to follow Hashem’s laws. The tallit is often worn during morning, Shabbat, and Yom Kippur services. What purpose do they serve?
The tallit is a prayer shawl that helps people think about God’s rules. Tefillin are little boxes with Torah words inside, worn to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions to Hashem, strengthening faith.
What did you find interesting? I found the Chilazon interesting, as it is a creature that has not fully been determined what kind of snail it is, if a snail at all. For all we know, it could be a Cuttlefish.
What questions do you still have? What is the Chilazon? is tekhelet now looking like what it did 200 yrs ago? or did we get the color wrong?

המובן מאליו
אז, הקשבתי לפודקאסט שנקרא *המובן מאליו*, וזה היה ממש מצחיק. בהמשך הוא התחיל לדבר על מוות ואיך אנשים מנסים להימנע ממנו, ומצאתי את זה ממש מעניין. הוא סיפר על ניסוי שבו החליפו ראש של קוף בראש של קוף אחר, והראש נשאר חי למרות שלא היה מחובר לגוף! בנוסף, הוא דיבר גם על להקפיא את הגוף, כמו סלמון בקוסטקו (רק בלי הדג), כדי לשמר אותו. אני ממליץ על הפודקאסט הזה לכל מי שאוהב לצחוק וללמוד דברים חדשים.
So, I listened to a podcast called *The Obvious*, and it was really funny. Later, it started talking about death and how people try to avoid it, which I found really interesting. It mentioned an experiment where someone swapped the head of one monkey with another’s, and the head stayed alive even though it wasn’t connected to a body! Also, they talked about freezing your body, like salmon at Costco (but without the fish), to preserve it. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone who loves to laugh and learn new things.
Innovation Day
Hello world! Thats right, Octo-kid is back! A few days ago, we had innovation day! Innovation days theme this time was electricity!
I made a sort of escape room/puzzle. I made a model of my classroom and, using code, I made a challenge.
Before starting my Innovation Day project, I felt excited but also a little nervous. I was happy to work on my game, and that feeling stayed the same the whole time. I felt nervous about the tri-fold because I thought it might be hard, but I stopped worrying after I saw my grade. Everything went fine, and nothing surprising happened. It was fun to work on something I really enjoyed.
In conclusion, this project was a great experience that me think critically, and innovate!
See ya!

Mishpacha project…
Well…hey, it’s been a while since I was on here….it took a while but I’m back :). ok so here’s the sum up, we did a project on our families, oh right…if you’re not in my class or up and don’t speak Hebrew… Mishpacha means: Family in Hebrew…anyways we did a project on that, so. let’s dive in
- A brief description of the purpose of the Mishpacha Project.
So there were a few questions that I had to ask my parents.
| How did you choose my name? |
| Who was I named after? |
| Do I have a Hebrew name that is different from my English name? |
| Did you research the meaning of my name before you gave it to me? |
| How did our family end up in Canada?
Were there any specific reasons tied to Jewish history or persecution that prompted our family to move? |
| Why did our family members choose to go to Canada? |
| Has anyone in your family returned to visit their country/countries of origin? |
| Do you still have family who live there? |
| Are there any interesting stories or legends about our family’s migration? |
| How did our family adapt to life in their new country? |
| What languages did our family speak? |
| Does our family consider ourselves/follow the traditions of the Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Mizrachim, or none of the above? (Give examples if you can) |
| Were there any special foods or recipes passed down through the generations? |
| How has our family contributed to the Jewish community over the generations? |
| What lessons or values from Jewish life do you think have been passed down through our family? |
From the conversations with my family, I didn’t learn too many new details. I had already learned a lot about my family in the past. However, I did learn that people created pens that have my grandfather’s name and picture on them. They did this to pay tribute to the contributions he has made to the community.
If I was doing this project again, I would add more pictures and change the background on my slides. I really liked this project!

sup world? Scales has arrived
Achievements/things that were helpful: well, my achievements are: I now know every single key on the Hebrew keyboard without needing keyboard stickers! and the things that were helpful: knowing all the keys on the keyboard.
how blogging helped you grow: well simple way to say it is that it made me more confident in talking to other people without thinking what they think of me.
suggestion for next years grade 5 students: more blogging.
See ya later, Scales is out!

SMART goals
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-bound
at the start of the year I made a SMART goal, mine was to make an experiment using the periodic table, this did not work for two reasons, one I did not ever have a good time to do it, two, I had no idea how… so next time, how would I revamp it for next year, well our science teacher for next year, Mr.Ray, from what I hear, does a lot more science experiments in science class, so that takes down my not finding a good time problem and he could probably help me make my experiment. I’m proud of memorizing half the periodic table this year, so that was nice
ארבעת הבנים/the four sons
Hello world! Scales here! today we learned about the four sons from the midrash, and about their personalities.
here are who they are and what they think
1.the evil one: questions god.
2.the simple one: always asking questions, still has a lot to learn.
3.the one who can’t ask: needs someone else to ask him and start the conversation.
4.the smart one: thinks that you should go into every detail about everything.Here i drew them(horribly)
yeah, so I think I fit in pretty well with the simple one, because I’m very curious, and I like to ask questions and I talk A LOT, however, I’m on a journey to become the smart one because aside from being curious and all that, I would like to know every detail.
what’s drippin’? Scales is out!
