חנוכה 2014

חנוכה תשע"ה

Dear Parents,

First Grade Chanukah show was fabulous. I’m very proud of them. Thank you for coming.

Hebrew Sentence of the week:

כַּמָה נֵרוֹת אֲנַחְנוּ מַדְלִיקִים בַּלַיְלָה ה......ַ

(How many candles do we light on the _____ night).

We sang this song every day of Chanukah.

Hagim (Holidays)

This week we had an exciting time celebrating Chanukah! We lit the Chanukiah in our classroom. We said the B’racha and sang “Hanerot Halaloo” every day. 

I’m sending home our Tal-Am workbook for Chanukah for you to keep. We learned new songs and read Hebrew stories for Chanukah. (The books are shown on the back of the festival workbook). On each day of Hanukkah, please let your child draw the right amount of candles that we are lighting on that night. Please encourage him/her to tell you what we have learned in this workbook!

Hannukkah projects:

We got to color our own Chanukiya that I made out of plaster of paris.

We colored our own chart of the blessings for lighting the Chanukiyah. This chart is shaped like  a "סביבון" (dreidel)/ Please use it for Chanukah and put it on the fridge for a decoration. We made a sevivon box as well.

I already sent all the art work we did (a chanukiyah, a sevivon box and the sevivon blessing.) if you didn’t get it yet, please look in your child’s  backpack.

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

This week’s story is called: "בִּינָה וְהַסֻפְגָנִיָה"- Bina and the jelly donuts.

 Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the vacation.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Israel with Morah Irit.

First Grade Album:

We are working on a special album that includes all the subjects we are learning in “Tal-Am”. Please send to school (soon is better  - the latest time is after winter break).

two of the following pictures (4”x6”)

1. A picture of the outside of your child’s house.

2. A picture of your child’s family (a group picture of as many members of the family as possible).

These pictures are very important for our learning in the class!

You can Email me the picture and I will print it.

I wish you all חופשה נעימה – Chofsha Ne’ima (Have a nice vacation).
