שבוע לפני חג הסידור- כי תשא

Dear Parents,
Chag Hasiddur is almost here and we are very excited and looking forward to it.

Chag Hasiddur

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

I am sending home another copy of your child’s part to practice at home (in case you have lost it). Please make sure your child practices and learns his/her part by heart.

Siddur dedication- last chance!!!!

Please email me a short message to your child as a dedication for his /her siddur by Sunday 3.19.2017.

I’ll print it and put it in your child's siddur. 

Chag Hasiddur dress code:

Please dress your child in a blue or black skirt or pants and a white shirt.  Please do not send your child in a suit or a dress. 

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 “כ”. We learned that there are 5 letters that do not start from the top and one of them is “ט”.

I am sending the first cursive workbook to keep and review at home.  

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Gabi’s home.

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s story is:"יש גשם בחוץ"  (Yesh Geshem Ba’chotz)- there is rain outside.

This book is related to “Chag Hasiddur”  topic.

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.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :כי תשא"” we learned about the Mitzvah of giving a “Machatzit Hashekel” (1/2 shekel coin) to the Bait HaMikdash so they can count how many people there are in Bnei Yisrael . Ask your child to tell you why ½ and not whole Shekel? We learned that the Kohanim used this money to buy animals for the daily Korban (sacrifice) that was brought every morning and afternoon. We also reviewed the story of the “Aigel Hazahav” or the sin of the golden calf. Have your child tell you the story!

Vocabulary words:

This week we will not have Homework or test.

            

Shabbat Shalom,

Morah Irit.
