Dear Parents,
Hebrew Sentence of the week:
בבקשה לקום..." ”Be’vakasha La’koom (Please get up….).
We learned that Abba or Ima may wake us up and say: “בבקשה לקום”

 

Cursive Hebrew letters:

We are continuing to learn how to write cursive Hebrew letters. The students focused on forming the letters correctly and reading words written in cursive script. This week, we reviewed the letters up to “ע”. Please make sure your child is perfuming “מ” and “ג” right.

Homework:
Next week, since we do not have school on Monday for President’s Day, we will do our Monday homework on Tuesday during class time.

Purim:

We are going to start learning about Purim and the Megillah story!

Please send to school an empty “Pringels” can.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :כי תשא"” we learned about the Mitzvah of giving a “Machtzet Hashekel” (1/2 shekel coin) to the Bait HaMikdash so they can count how many people there are in Bnei Yisrael . Ask your child to tell you why ½ and not whole Shekel? We learned that the Kohanim used this money to buy animals for the daily Korban (sacrifice) that was brought every morning and afternoon. We also reviewed the story of the “Aigel Hazahav” or the sin of the golden calf. Have your child tell you the story!

Shalom Babayit Uavchutz (Shalom at Home and Outdoors)

We started our new Tal AM workbook called “Shalom at Home”. The “Shalom at Home” Workbook focuses on the daily life of a Jewish child at home from waking up in the morning until going to bed at sunset. This week we focused on our morning routines. Next week we will learn about the body parts and how we thank Hashem for giving us a healthy body every day.


Vocabulary words:
The Hebrew vocabulary words for this week come from our unit on body parts in “Shalom 2” workbook.
