Dear Parents,
Our first grade “Siddur Party” is not this week! It has been rescheduled for on May 20th B”H.
Purim:
We have started learning about Purim and the Megillah story!
Please send to school an empty “Pringels” can. ( If you can send more then one that will be great!)
First Grade Album:
We are working on a special album that includes all the subjects we are learning in “Tal-Am”. Please send to school by next week two of the following pictures:((4”x6”)
1. A picture of the outside of your child’s house.
2. A picture of your child’s family (a group picture of as many members of the family as possible).
These pictures are very important for our learning in the class!
Hebrew Sentence of the week:
הפה אומר..." ”Ha’peh Omer (The mouth says….).
We learned that it is very important that our “Peh” will say “Todah” to everyone and this is very important to Hashem.
Cursive Hebrew letters:
We are almost finishing learning how to write all the cursive Hebrew letters. The students have been focusing on forming the letters correctly and reading words written in cursive script. This week, we reviewed the letters up to “ש”. Please make sure your child is writing his/her letters correctly.
Homework:
The students are ready to write their homework in cursive. I know that for some students this transition will be hard so please courage your child to form the cursive Hebrew letters correctly. Please use the example of the script Hebrew letters that are posting on the inside of the homework notebook cover.
Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :ויקהל"”. We reviewed all the various vessels that are in the Mishkan and we learned that Bezalel was the one appointed by Hashem to build the Mishkan. We also learned that Moshe first warned them to keep the Shabbat before giving them the commandment to build the Mishkan. This told the Jewish People that even though the building of the Mishkan was important the still must rest on Shabbat are recognize that Hashem created the world.
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 body parts and how we thank Hashem for giving us a healthy body every day. Next week we will learn Hebrew words for the different clothing we wear.
Ariot 2:
This week we finished our workbook. We read and studied the following stories:
“Adon Balon” (Mr. Balloon) We learned the names of all the colors in Hebrew as well as the words: Dag (fish), Dov (bear), Gag (roof) and Vav (hook).
“ Zozo Ha avazon” (Zozo the goose) In this story we learned the words Zaz (moving), Bayit (a house) Har (a mountain) the goose family and Dag (fish).
In the process we learned to differentiate between animate and inanimate objects.
“Ach Bamishpacha” (“A Brother in the family”).
Our Hebrew vocabulary included words like: “Chagiga” (party), Mishpacha (family), Aba (dad), ima (mom) dod (uncle) doda (aunt) Saba (grandpa) Savta (Grandma) Ach Chadash (a new brother), Achot chadasha (a new sister), Buba (doll), B’dicha (joke).
We really liked reading the story “Oh Oh Hatoast”! (Yes, that’s how you also say toast in Hebrew!)
We learned the following Hebrew words: Tabach (chef), Oto (a car) Televiziya (T.V), Tov and Tova (good)
The chef likes (ohev) good toast, a yellow one and not black one.
-For the letter “Yud” we read the story:
“Yesh Chagiga” (“There is a Party”) We learned the Hebrew words: “Yoshev” and “Yoshvet”(“sitting” for boy and “sitting” for girls). We practiced these words by saying sentences in Hebrew about ourselves such as: “ Ani yoshev/yoshevet al ha keese”- “I’m sitting on the chair”).
We also learned that the word “yoyo” is the same word in Hebrew and in English.
