Dear Parents,
We are busy preparing
for the achievement fair. I am looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday May 17.
Yom Ha’ atzmaut:
This week we finished
learning about “Yom Ha’ atzmaut” (Israel Independence day). Our workbook
“ My Israel” (Yisrael Sheli) focuses on:
1. The bond between the People of Israel and the Land
of Israel;
2. The identification of the People of Israel with the State
of Israel and Jerusalem. We learned that this
identification is acquired and internalized through celebrating these special
days as well as through displaying the Israeli flag, symbol and emblem, singing
the national anthem, and saying the prayer for the welfare of the State.
On Tuesday we had a special program
with activities for “Yom Ha atzmaut” (Israel Independence Day). It was fun!!!!
Cursive Hebrew letters:
Yey! We can write all Hebrew words in script!
We finished learning how
to write all the cursive Hebrew letters. Please make sure your child is writing
his/her letters correctly.
The students have been
focusing on forming the letters correctly and reading words written in cursive
script. Please use this workbook to make sure your child is writing his/her
letters correctly.
This is the time to
write all assignments in script.
Hebrew
reading:
Last week we finished
our reading program. This program has strengthened everyone’s reading skills
and taught the important skill of sounding out and writing Hebrew words. This
means every student can read any Hebrew word with all of the vowels as well as write
any Hebrew word with any vowels! Wow!
I’m very proud of everyone’s
accomplishments! I am sending home the workbook for you to keep. Please
encourage your child to go over the unit with you and read all the words.
What’s in the box?
This week we almost finished
Ariot 3 workbook.
we read the story
called “Dan Ve Dina naganim” (The story is about children named Dan and Dina
who play musical instruments). I brought to the class my own musical instrument
in a big box. I asked the children to guess what musical instrument
was in the box and no one was able to guess correctly! (Ask your
child what instrument it was). I explained what the instrument was and I played
some songs the students knew. We concluded with the “Hatikvah”.
“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "
This week’s story is “הסוד”- “Hasod (the secret).
This story is going to
be our next story in Ariot 3 work book and the vocabulary words for this coming
week are from that story. (if you need help with some words, you can look at
the vocabulary list).
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 their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: :"אחרי מות" ו "קדושים" Acharei-
Mot and Kedoshim.
We focused on how to respect our parents, Rabbi, teacher, or an older person.
Vocabulary words:
Our next word list comes
