Dear Parents,

The first grade is getting ready for theחורף (winter)!

We started to learn the Hebrew words for the clothing

we wear in the winter:

This week we played a game that helps us learn to build Hebrew sentences. We started out building Hebrew sentences with only 3 words such as: “" אני שותה שוקו (I’m drinking hot chocolate). We added one word at a time until we can build sentences with 8 words such as:

אני שותה שוקו חם ואוכל פיצה בבית בבוקר (I’m drinking hot chocolate and eating pizza in the morning at home).

Then we made the sentence even longer by adding:
אחרי שאני שותה שוקו חם ואוכל/ת פיצה בבית בבוקר, אני אומר/ת תודה. (After I drink hot chocolate and eat pizza in the morning at home, I say Thank you).
Wow! That’s 11 words in one sentence! First garde are amazing!

Hebrew Sentence of the week:
( בחוץ, בשלג, בבית, בכיתה וכו') כַּיף לִי- Kef Li (I have fun....)
The children had a lot ofכַּיף playing in the שלג (snow).

Hebrew workbook:
We started a workbook with the sound Eh.
We have already learned the letter “ז”

Parashat Hashavua
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat “וחי” – Vayechi. From our Parasha we learned how important is a tzadik’s blessing.

Ariot
This week we started learning from Ariot 1 and we are already completed up to the middle of the workbook.
We can read all the Hebrew in it! Most of us can also spell the Hebrew words in our “Hachtava” (the spelling test).
Once a week we go to the computer lab and work on the Ariot I CD-ROM which includes the same stories and activities as in the workbook.
We have a lot of כַּיף " “!
Shabbat Shalom,
Morah Irit.
