Fingers on the Pulse

While working on their parsha packet in honor of Parshas Chayei Sara, Rabbi Perton’s 1st grade boys came across the word “חיה” “To live.” To help the boys understand what “to live” means a bit better, Nurse Gris stopped by to explain about the heart and how pumping blood through the body helps us to live. She then showed the boys how to find their own pulse so they could see how fast or slow their heart is pumping.
