First grade 11.4.2010

Dear Parents,

The first grade can speak using so many Hebrew words. I’m so impressed!  

This week we practiced Hebrew words that describe different kinds of weather using a special software program on our computer. The children had to choose the type of weather they wanted to watch by asking me in Hebrew for: “Ham”-hot “kar”-cold or “Hamim” –not hot and not cold, the type of

ru ach (strong or not strong) , “sheleg”-snow and “Geshem”-rain. It was a lot of fun.

Hebrew Sentence of the week: קר לִי  (Kar Li) – I’m cold. (I’m going to use it a lot for the next few months.)

Hebrew workbook:

This week we finished 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 Tav. We also focused on: “Shin” and “sin”. We practiced writing words and placing the dot on the right place. (Shin- on the right Sin-on the left). I’m sending it home for you to keep and review.

We started a new Hoveret (workbook) with the vowel “Hirik” which sounds like a long E. We are learning to spell words with both vowels we have learned (Ah and Ei).

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “תולדות” (Toldot). We learned that Rivkah had twin boys: Esav and Yaakov. We learn about their differences. We learned the story of how Esav sold the birthright to Yaakov for a bowl of lentil soup.

Prayer

We are doing very well reading and singing to following new prayers: “Baruch Shamar”, “Ashrey” and “Anim zemirot”

Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.
