פרשת קרח- סוף השנה

6-7-13
Dear Parents,
Wow!  Can it be the end of the school year already? Today we had a ceremony. I gave each student a certificate that acknowledges one thing (of many) that he/she succeeded at during the school year.

Ariot 4: This week we completed the “Ariot 4” workbook. We enjoyed studying the story with “אדון וגברת גורילה” (Adon Ve Geveret Gorilah)-Mr. and Mrs. Gorilla. I’m sending the completed workbook home to keep. Please take time to go over the stories with your child and let him/her read and explain them to you. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

“Shabbat Shalom” workbook

This week we finished the Shabbat workbook. It is composed of 3 distinctive units which reflect the main ideas of the Shabbat theme:
1. Bo'i Shabbat (Come, Shabbat) - Welcoming Shabbat in class and at home.
2. Oneg Shabbat (Celebrating Shabbat) - What's permitted and what's forbidden during Shabbat.
3. Shavua Tov (Good Week) - Farewell to Shabbat, Havdalah.

These units deal, respectively, with the preparations for Shabbat, the Mitzvoth of Shabbat and the ritual of departure from the Shabbat on Motzaei Shabbat (Saturday night).

The units include: Blessings over the candles, the challa and the Kiddush for Shabbat.

The Shabbat Shalom unit is taught throughout the year and in parallel to Ariot and Shalom units, during the periods of the year when holiday topics are not taught.

Hebrew folder:

There is no need to return the Hebrew folder any more. I also sent yesterday with the students all the new folders that we didn’t use.

Korach and 250 leaders started an argument with Moshe and Aharon. They wanted to be leaders and be able to go into the “Kodesh Ha Kodashim” like Aharon could.

It is very important to help your student retain the Hebrew skills that he/she has achieved this year. I’m sending an enrichment workbook that your child worked on whenever he/she finished his/her class work. I highly recommend that your child finish this workbook over the summer. I will give a small prize to whoever brings back the workbook completed at the beginning of next year.
