אחרי מת קדושים

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 from the next story in Ariot called: “Hasod” (“The Secret”)
The test will be on Thursday  5/15/17
