פרשת וישלח

בס"ד יום שישי י"ז כסלו תשע"ג

Dear Parents,
We started to prepare for Chanukah along with our other learning.
Here are some things we learned this week:
Hagim (Holidays):
We started our new work book for Chanukah! We learned the story of Chanukah and we learned the Hebrew words: “Yehudim” (Jews) and “Yevanim” (Greeks).
Prayer:
We started to practice the blessing for lighting the “Chanukiyah” (Chanukah menorah).

Our Hebrew workbook:
This week we learned about the vowel “Holam” the long O sound) and we learned our letters up to the letter “ גו  "(. We have learned to spell words using all three of the vowels we have covered so far: “Ah”, “Ei” and “O”.

A Special story
In your child’s folder you will find a story called: “מה יש בכיתה שלי” (What is in the classroom). Each child wrote down in his/her book the items we have in our class in Hebrew. They also learned to change these words from the singular to the plural form. This story served as a good exercise for your child’s Hebrew reading and for practicing their vocabulary as well. Please review this story with your child. If your child brings a note from home that he/she read it with you will get a “דג” (fish)!  Ask your child to tell you all about our fish! The children love to get the fish.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "
This week’s story is called: “?מה יש בכיתה” (What is in the classroom?)
Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend .

Ariot:
This week Ariot went to   Lila‘s home.


Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “וישלח” – Vayishlach . We learned that Yaakov prepared to meet Esav in 3 ways: 1- Shalom (peace- he send a מתנה present). 2-Tefilah (prayers to Hashem) and 3- Milchamah (war).
-Yaakov returned to the other side of the river to get the small כָּד –Kad (jar) that he had forgotten to take with him. Yaakov teaches us that we need to be responsible for our things even if it is something not so expensive.
Shabbat Shalom
Morah Irit.
