Friday note 10.22.2010

10.22.2010

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 Hebrew days of the week. We also learned that we every day we say “Shalom” but on Shabbat we say “Shabbat Shalom”.

Hebrew Sentence of the week: אין לִי  (En Li) –I don’t have.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we started our workbook “Mai’ot leot” Part 3. We reviewed the Aleph-Bet letter names with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Nun. We also focused on the Final letters: “Mem sofit” and “Nun sofit”. We practice writing words and we learned when to use a final letter.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat:  “ וירא” (Va yerah). We learned about two important Mitzvot that our Parasha teaches us about: Hachnasat Orchim and Bikur Cholim. We also learned about other stories from the beginning of the Parasha. Please encourage your child to tell you the stories he/she learned about this Parasha using the pictures on the sheets.

Special story

In your child folder you will find a story named “חלה לשבת” (Hala for Shabbat). Each child had a turn to stand in front of the class and read his/her part. Boys were “אבא” the girls were “חוה”.  This story is a good exercise for Hebrew reading and for practice understanding the word: “אוכל” (O’ chel) – eating.

Please read it again with your child. A child who brings a note from home that he read it will get a “דג” (fish- ask your child to tell you all about our fish).

Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.
