ויצא 2016

Dear Parents,

I will be in Israel until winter break is over.

Morah Eva and Morah Malka will substitute for me and teach first grade.

During my absence, the Hebrew folder and books will not be sent home.

Hagim (Holidays):

This week we started to prepare for Chanukah.

We learned the story of Chanukah and we learned the Hebrew words: “Yehudim” (Jews) and “Yevanim” (Greeks).

We saw two different Dreidels – סביבונים. One is from the USA and the other from Israel.

Please ask your child to explain what are the differences between the two dreidels and why the difference exists. (The answer is in the page in the Hebrew folder).

Hebrew workbook:

We are half way in our workbook with the “Segol” and “Tseyre” vowles.

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 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!

Please send it to me soon as possible - the latest time is after winter break, you can also Email me the picture and I will print it.

 “My library” -  “הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

This week’s book is called: “?מִי לֹא בַּכִּיתָה” (Who is not in the class?)

We learned the questions: “מִי בַּכִּיתָה?” and “?מִי לֹא בַּכִּיתָה” (Who is in the class? Who is not in the class?)  In this week’s story –

שַחַר לֹא בַּכִּיתָה, שַחַר בַּבַּיִת כִּי שַחַר חוֹלֶה"  “Shachar Lo Bakita, Shachar Ba’Bayit Ki Shachar Hole’”   (Shachar is not in the class.  Shachar is at home because Shachar is sick!). We learned that you wish a " רְפוּאָה שְלֵמָה " (speedy recovery) to someone who sick.  

Please encourage your child to read it outloud to you over the weekend.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “ויצא” (Vayeitzei). We learned that the 3 prayer services we say every day were established by each of our forefathers. We also learned the stories of Yaakov’s dream, how Lavan tricked Yaakov into marrying Leah and Rachel, as well as the birth of the 12 sons of Yaakov.

Shabbat Shalom from Morah Irit.
