What’s in the box?
This week we read the story called “Dan Ve Dina naganim” (The story is about children named Dan and Dina who play musical instruments). I brought to the class my own musical instrument in a big box.  I asked the children to guess what musical instrument was in the box and no one was able to guess correctly!  (Ask your child what instrument it was, or flip the page and look at the picture.). I explained what the instrument was and I played some songs the students knew.   We concluded with the “Hatikvah”.

פרשת תזריע מצורע

בס"ד
4.12.2013
Dear Parents,
This week we started the new month of “Iyar”. (Thank you to Moreh Dror for the raisins he gave us for Rosh Chodesh treat). We have so many things coming up! On Tuesday we will have a special program with activities for “Yom Ha atzmaut” (Israel Independence Day). We are also preparing for the achievement fair and of course we will start to prepare for our “Chag Hasiddur” celebration.

Yom Ha’ atzmaut:
This week we also started learning about “Yom Ha’ atzmaut” (Independent day).  Our new Tal-Am workbook “ My Israel” (Yisrael Sheli) focuses on:
1. The tie between the People of Israel and the Land of Israel;
2. The identification of the People of Israel with the State of Israel and Jerusalem. We learned that this identification is acquired and internalized through celebrating these special days as well as through displaying the Israeli flag, symbol and emblem, singing the national anthem, and saying the prayer for the welfare of the State.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:"אה, יום העצמאות?!" -“Ah, Yom  Ha’ atzmaut?!”
 (Ah, Independent day?! ).
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 Eli,’ Natali and C.J’s home.

ספירת העומר  -  counting the Omer
We learned that from Passover until Shavout we count 49 days which is 7 weeks. Ask your child why we are counting the days.  We are counting the Omer every day as part of our “Tefilah” (Prayer).

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat :"תזריע" and “מצורע"
This Friday we learned about – לשון הרע"- l"ashon hara” . we learn to speak only nice thing about people.






Vocabulary words:
This is our next word list.
The test will be on Thursday  4/
