יתרו 2017

Dear Parents,

First grade students are doing very well. This week we started learning how to ask for things only in Hebrew:

  אֶפְשָר בְּבַקָשָה....- May I please……

We can ask for going to drink water:

" אֶפְשָר בְּבַקָשָה לִשְתּוֹת מַיִם-  May I please drink water

And even to go to the bathroom:

" אֶפְשָר בְּבַקָשָה לִלכת לשירותים-  May I please go to the bathroom.

Please ask your child to ask you questions at home in Hebrew using the words:

אֶפְשָר בְּבַקָשָה....- May I please……

With your help and encouragement at home, your child's Hebrew speaking can become more fluent.

We are going to learn writing cursive Hebrew letters:

This Tuesday we are going to start learning how to write cursive Hebrew letters. In this unit we are going to focus on forming the letters correctly and working on reading text in cursive.

Shalom workbook:

This week we started a new unit called:”"מה בילקוט what is in the backpack?

Our vocabulary words are taken from this unit.

In class we are practicing to ask for these items in Hebrew using a polite manner and starting with: אֶפְשָר בְּבַקָשָה....- May I please……

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Eden’s home.

“My Library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

Please read the 5 stories from Ariot 2 workbook

Ariot 2: 
This week we finished Ariot 2 workbook. We read and studied the following stories:

“Adon Balon” (Mr. Balloon) We learned the names of all the colors in Hebrew as well as the words: Dag (fish), Dov (bear), Gag (roof) and Vav (hook).
“ Zozo Ha avazon” (Zozo the goose) In this story we learned the words Zaz (moves), Bayit (a house) Har (a mountain) the goose family and Dag (fish).
In the process we learned to differentiate between animate and inanimate objects.
“Ach Bamishpacha” (“A Brother in the family”).

Our Hebrew vocabulary included words like: “Chagiga” (party), Mishpacha (family), Aba (dad), ima (mom) dod (uncle) doda (aunt) Saba (grandpa) Savta (Grandma) Ach Chadash (a new brother), Achot chadasha (a new sister), Buba (doll), B’dicha (joke).

We really liked reading the story “Oh Oh HaToast”!  (Yes, that’s how you also say toast in Hebrew!)
We learned the following Hebrew words: Tabach (chef), Oto (a car) Televiziya (T.V), Tov and Tova (good)
The chef likes (ohev) good toast, a yellow one and not a black one.

-For the letter “Yud” we read the story:
“Yesh Chagiga” (“There is a Party”) We learned the Hebrew words: “Yoshev” and “Yoshvet”(“sitting” for boy and “sitting” for girls). We practiced these words by saying sentences in Hebrew about ourselves such as:  “ Ani yoshev/yoshevet al ha keese”- “I’m sitting on the chair”).
We also learned that the word “yoyo” is the same word in Hebrew and in English!

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “יתרו” (Yitro). We learned that the whole Parasha is named after Yitro because he was the father-in-law of Moshe and he accepted that Hashem was G-d after hearing about all the miracles that Hashem did in Egypt saving the Jewish People..  We also learned about how the Jewish People received the Torah at Har Sinai. We learned about the 10 commandments which include honoring our Parents. I’m encourage you to bring you child to “בית כנסת” (synagogue) so they can hear all the 10 commandments in the Torah reading.
