Dear parents

Thank you for coming to the achievement fair and letting me share with you just a few things from all the activities and learning we had all year long.

Shavuot:

Every day in our morning prayer we are counting the days that past Passover. Tuesday will be our last day of counting the days. Ask your child why we are going to stop count the days.  We also learned that Beney Yisrael got the Torah on Har (Mt.) Sinai on “Vav Sivan” (6^th of the month of Sivan).We learned a new song about Har Sinai and another song about the 5 books of the Torah as well.

Ariot 4: This week we started the Ariot 4 workbook. We read a story about “Salat shel Pilim” (An elephant salad). We learned that salad is very healthy for you. The story taught us that if the “Pil Pilon” (the young elephant) wants to eat “pudding” he has to eat the salad first.
Prayer:

This week we added the beginning and the end parts of the “Amidah” to our regular tefila service every day. I’m very proud of all my first graders when they pray for their new Siddur in the morning!

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s story is:""האותיות בתורה שלנו- (the letters in our Torah)- a story special for Shavuot!

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 Rivka’s home.

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat :" נשא"
This Friday we learned about the 12 spies that Moshe sent  to look at the land of Canaan to see if it is good or bad. Please ask your child to tell you what’s happened at the end.

Vocabulary words:

There will be no more Hebrew vocabulary words for this year!  I’m very proud of my first grade students’ achievements this year. Thank you as well. All your child’s studying this year would not have been so successful without your help and support. I’ll send the מחברת (notebook) home for you to keep next week.

Shabbat Shalom,  Morah Irit.
