פורים 2017

Dear Parents,
Our Purim celebration was a big success! We had so much “simcha” (happiness) all day! We wore costumes, we enjoyed a magician and a performance of the Megilah story by the 6^th grade,  and we played games in the Purim carnival. At the end of the day, we received Mishloach Manot " משלוח מנות". The whole day was such fun!
אוזני המן – Hamentashen

This week each student received a piece of dough and made his/her own Hamantashen " אוזן המן". It was yummy!

The Story of Purim

 I am very happy to bring you a special story, familiar to us all,

the story of Purim!

So what is the big deal? Well, this one is missing words and your child filled in all of the missing words.

Purim- Tal Am

We also finished our Purim unit which includes the Megillah story ( in Hebrew) about Esther and Mordechai and how they saved the Jews.

We learned a few Purim songs: ”Mishe Nichnas Adar (when Adar comes in - two different song), Hasipur Bamegillah” (The story in the Megillah), ”Letzan Katan Sheli” (My Little Clown), and “Leozen Haman Shalosh Pinot” (Hamentashen has 3 sides).

We read three Hebrew books: “Venahafoch Hoo” (Being  Upset), “Who is in the Class in Purim?” and “Mishloach Manot M’ Ariot” (Ariot is sending presents).

Chag Hasiddur 

“Chag Hasiddur” is getting closer!

We are continuing to practice our lines and our songs for our “Chag Hasiddur”. 

I am sending home a copy of your child’s part to keep and practice at home. Please make sure your child practices and learns his/her part by heart. 

I’m sending a letter about “Chag Hasiddur”, Please fill in and return the letter by Monday 3.13.2017

Cursive Hebrew letters:

We are continuing to learn how to write cursive Hebrew letters. The students focused on forming the letters correctly and reading words written in cursive script. This week, we reviewed the letters up to “ו”.

א=א  ב=ב  ג=ג  ד=ד  ה=ה  ו=ו

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s book is called:"לִכְבוֹד פּוּרִים מִי בַּכִּיתָה?"- Lichvod Purim Mi Bakitah- (Who is in the classroom for Purim?)

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 and will learn.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Orah’s home.

Vocabulary words:

This is our word list.

The test will be on Thursday 3/16/17.
