פרשת ויקרא

בס"ד יום שישי ד' בחודש ניסן

Dear Parents,
we can feel Pesach in the air!

Passover:
This week, we started learning about “Pesach” (Passover) from the Tal-Am work book. We were very busy continuing making our own Haggadadot. Each of us will bring one home before Pesach.
We have learned the story of how the Jews became “Avadim” (slaves) in Egypt. We have reviewed the entire order of the Seder night as written in the Haggadah. We also learned the four names for Passover as well as the names of the four sons mentioned in the Haggadah.  We also learned that the four cups of wine we drink at the Seder stand for the four different languages for redemption. Of course, there is still a lot to learn! We will be spending a lot of time over the next week learning all the laws and customs surrounding the Seder night and Pesach.

Cursive Hebrew letters:
We finished learning how to write all the cursive Hebrew letters. Please make sure your child is writing his/her letters correctly.

Homework:
Some 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.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:"גילה שואלת מה נשתנה" -“Gilah is asking “Ma Nishtanah””
Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend .It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned.

Ariot:
This week Ariot is going to Menashe’s home.

Shalom Babayit Uavchutz (Shalom at Home and Outdoors)
This week we learned the Hebrew words for the different foods we eat. We learned that we thank Hashem for providing us with food by saying “Birkat Hamazon” every day after we eat.




Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :ויקרא"”. We learned that the Jews brought korbanot because the process of bringing a korban helped them become close to hashem.
