Dear parents,

This week the second grade did a project about the creation and came to teach the first graders about it. It was FUN!

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי " - ”!

This week’s book is called: “Sharona Bakita?” (שרונה בכיתה?).

Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend so they can receive a new one on Friday.

Don’t forget to remind your child that he\she will get a “Dag”  (our reward fish) when he\she is returns the book with a signature.

Hebrew workbook:

We finished our workbook “עברית עם מורה אירית”

 Part 3! We reviewed the Aleph-Bet letter names with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter “Pay”. We also focused on the Final letters: “Fay Sofit”. We practice writing words and we learned when to use a final letter.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “חיי שרה” (Haye Sara). We learned that Sarah died when she was 127 years old and Avraham bought the Ma’arat HaMachpela to bury her. We learned that the word “Ma’ara” means “cave”. We also learned that there are four couples buried there: Adam and Chava, Avraham and Sarah, Yitzchok and Rivkah, Yaakov and Leah. We also learned that Avraham sent Eliezer to find a wife for his son Yitzchok. Eliezer took 10 “gimalim” (“Gamal” means “camel”) and went to Charan, Avraham’s birthplace, to find one. There he finds Rivkah at a well.

Prayer:

This week we started learning “Baruch Shamar”and “Ashrei” prayer in our morning dovening.we are continuing to learn “Anim zemirot” (We got up to “ז”).

The workbook deals with everyday life in the classroom at the beginning of the school year, and focuses on familiarization with the characters of a "virtual" classroom, the articles and the learning habits in the classroom. 
Shalom Bakita is further organized into 3 subtopics: 
(a) Who is in the class?

(C) How to study. 
These topics will accompany the students throughout the year, since they deal with the everyday life of the students.
