IVDU's Newsletter 2

After a nice and restful Shabbos everyone came back to school feeling refreshed and looking forward to a nice and exiting week at school. We started the week off with some learning in the classrooms then we were off to shul. After getting back from shul we started learning in our designated classes with breaks in the middle to help us concentrate better and also for lunch and mincha. On Tuesday things went a bit stranger usually there would be a short Halacha class then we would go to shul but on that day it was a bit different. We first started off with the Halacha class then we had 1 regular class before the teachers went into a class where they were taught some English by an expert. While they were in the class the students went and davened in the multipurpose room, then the students went to the park for some ball for about 10 minutes then we went to our classes with our teachers for about 15-30 minutes until lunch. Then after everything has happened the day got calmer then we finished the day with mincha. On Wednesday we had a cool, calm day where we had classes, lunch between classes and mincha which is usually the 3rd to last period. On Thursday we all had a wonderful day. We started out with going to shul after the Halacha class then we had a couple of classes (which ended when lunch came around). 1 of the classes had a trip to a car dealership where they learned a lot about cars. After lunch we went to the gym/pool where we divided into groups of who was going swimming and who was playing basketball, we all had a smashing time. The number of people who went to the pool almost doubled and the people who were in the gym either watching or playing almost doubled. All in all everyone had a great time. On Friday it was a slow morning but it quickly turned around at the chaburah with some zemirot and kugel and chulent
