First grade 2.11.11

2-11-11
Dear Parents,

This Wednesday was “100 day” in school! We made a big picture with 100 numbers- all written in Hebrew. We then practiced counting up to 100 in Hebrew while we jumped up and down. We were so tired that we rested for 100 seconds.

Hebrew Sentence of the week:

יש לי מאה..." ”Yesh Li Me’ah... (I have one hundred….).

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 “מ”. We learned that there are 5 letters that do not start from the top and we now know that two of them are “ט”and “"ל.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :תצווה"” we learn about the Cohen and Cohen Gadol (the Priest and the high priest) clothes. We did a project making two kohanim with all their special clothes out of paper and then we dressed them up. We learned that the regular Kohen wore 4 different kinds of clothes and the Kohen Gadol wore 8 different kinds of clothes.

Homework:
The children are still having trouble getting their homework notebook back to school on time. Please make sure the homework notebook is placed back into your child’s backpack. It is extremely important to have it in class on time. Otherwise, I can’t post their homework.
Vocabulary words:
This week’s words are taken from the story” Hagigah Ba’kitah” (a party in the classroom) from the “Ariot 2” workbook. We learned the word “Hagigah”(party) a few weeks ago. Please make sure your child knows the translation of this word.
The test will be on Thursday, 2-17-11.
