Dear Parents,

The first grade continues to learn a lot of Hebrew. I am so proud of them!

We learned a Hebrew song about the 4 seasons:

חורף (Horef)- winterאביב  (Aviv) – Spring,  קיץ (Kayits)- Summer ,

 סתו   (Stav) -Fall.

 And we can answer the question: “"מה העונה עכשיו? What is the season now?

Hebrew Sentence of the week: יֵש לִי  (Yesh Li) -I have.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we finished our workbook “Mai’ot leot” Part 2. We reviewed the Aleph-Bet letter names with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Lamed. In their Hebrew folder you will find the complete workbook. Please go over it with your child and encourage him/her to read to you and explain what we have learned.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat   לך לך (Lech Lecha). We learned the story of the beginning of Avraham’s journeys. Please encourage your child to tell you the stories he/she learned about this Parasha using the pictures on the sheets.

Special guest:

On Thursday, Israel’s Teacher of the Year - Judith Lewkowicz came to visit in our school. We made a welcome sign saying   "ברוכה הבאה" and we sang a song to her called “Shalom La’ Morah” (Welcome teacher). We felt very good about welcoming a teacher who came all the way from Israel to meet us!

Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.
