ויגש - חופשת חורף

בס"ד

Dear Parents,

Good news!

My son in Israel had a baby girl (a new sister to Yair). I will be away for the week after winter break (Jan 3- Jan 10, 2014).

Morah Eva will teach first grade.

During my absence, there will be no Hebrew folder or books sent home.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we finished our workbook which teaches about the vowel with “Segol” and “Tseyrey”.

“Ariot 1 workbook”:

We finished “Ariot 1” workbook.

It was very easy because we had already learned so many of the vocabulary words and writing skills while doing our reading program. “ Ariot 1” was so fun when we challenged ourselves to figure out the words in the  “Hactava” (the spelling test at the end of each unit) and we were able to figure out the words without help. We can read all the Hebrew in it!  We were practicing Ariot I CD-ROM on the smart board in our classroom and in the computer lab  which includes the same stories and activities as in the workbook.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "    ( Home work for  this week and for the vacation).

6 short stories from the Ariot workbook:  “shalom  ani Ariot”- p.11,  “Shabbat shalom”- p.21,   “Aba babayit”-P. 37,   “Gimmel bagan?”- P.54-56    “Dag?”- P.72-74 and “Efo HavHav? “-P.87-89.

Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the winter break. It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned in this unit.

Vacation reading:

In the folder you will find a list with the vowels we have learned.

The list is build up from Alef to Taf. It is very important to practice reading the words with the combination of that vowel, especially when it is in the same words.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going with Morah Irit to Israel.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “ויגש” – Vayigash. From our Parasha we have learned how important it is to be responsible for our siblings and for our family.

First Grade Album:

I still need 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) and Shabbat Shalom from Morah Irit
