פרשת כי תשא

Dear Parents,

First grade students are doing great, we are getting ready to start how to write Hebrew in script. Yay!!!!

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s book is called:"זֶה שוּלְחָן שַבָּת?" -“Ze Sholchan Shabbat?” (is this a shabbat table).

We read this book as a review of our last unit of “"מה בילקוט ובכיתה ('what is in the classroom and the backpack).

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 Boaz’s home.

Homework:

Next week, since we do not have school on Monday for President’s Day, we will do our Monday homework on Tuesday during class time.

Purim Project:

Please send to school an empty “Pringels” can. ( If you can send more then one that will be great!) It supposed to be easier then sending Pictures.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :כי תשא"” we learned about the Mitzvah of giving a “Machtzet Hashekel” (1/2 shekel coin) to the Bait HaMikdash so they can count how many people there are in Bnei Yisrael . Ask your child to tell you why ½ and not whole Shekel? We learned that the Kohanim used this money to buy animals for the daily Korban (sacrifice) that was brought every morning and afternoon. We also reviewed the story of the “Aigel Hazahav” or the sin of the golden calf. Have your child tell you the story!

Vocabulary words:

This week’s words are taken from the story” Hagigah Ba’kitah” (a party in the classroom) from the “Ariot 2” workbook. We learned the word “Hagigah”(party) a few weeks ago. Please make sure your child knows the translation of this word.

The test will be on Thursday, 2-23-14.
