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). Today 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.   
Ariot:

4.4.2014

Dear Parents,
Yey! We can write all Hebrew words in script!

Passover:
We were very busy continuing to make our own Haggadadot. Each of us will bring one home before Pesach.
We have reviewed the entire order of the Seder night as it is written in the Haggadah. We 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 and the four questions of “Ma nishtana?”.
I’ll send the Hagada B”H on Wednesday. Please look for it.

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.
This is the time to write all assignments in script

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 Eden’s home.
