Chanukah week

12.10.2010

Dear Parents,

First Grade Chanukah show was fabulous. I’m very proud of them. Thank you for coming.

Hebrew Sentence of the week:

 כַּמָה נֵרוֹת אֲנַחְנוּ מַדְלִיקִים בַּלַיְלָה הַ.......

(How many candles do we light on the _____ night).

We sang this song every day of Chanukah.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we finished our workbook which teaches about the vowel “Holam” (the long O sound). We learned to spell words with all three of the vowels we have learned (“Ah”, “Ei” and “O”). Next week we will start the next workbook with the sound Eh.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “ויגש” – Vayigash. From our Parasha we’ve learned how much it is important to be responsible for our siblings and for our family.

Hagim (Holidays)

This week we had an exciting time celebrating Chanukah!We lit the Chanukiah every day in our classroom. We said the B’racha and sang “Hanerot Halaloo” and “Ma oz tsor” every day. 

We finished two workbooks.  I’m sending home our Tal-Am workbook for Chanukah for you to keep. We also learned new songs and read Hebrew stories for Chanukah. (The books are shown on the back of the festival workbook). We also finished a review workbook in English for Chanukah as well. Please go over the two workbooks and encourage your child to tell you what we have learned!

Notbook: This week we started writing in our Hebrew מחברת  (notebook).

The students are writing all their class work in their notebooks.

Shabbat Shalom,

Morah Irit.
