The second annual CIJE VEX Robotics competition was held outside of HAFTR Middle School on Friday, January 15. Over 40 students from eight different cohorts competed, successfully navigating COVID guidelines to complete a game-ready robot. This year’s challenge required students to maneuver risers into predetermined patterns, and students did a marvelous job.

What better way for children to develop math, science, literacy, and fine motor skills than through exploring Winter! The children at HALB’s Lev Chana have been immersed in a multi-sensory exploration of winter, the season they are experiencing right now. At Lev Chana we know that children learn best through hands-on activities and by being given many opportunities to explore a topic.
