Learning with "Ariot" in the Computer Lab:
Dear Parents,

On a weekly basis we are using Ariot in the computer lab to work on our Hebrew language skills.  Students hear on the computer the same story that we are currently reading in our Ariot workbooks.  This is providing them with a "fun" way to reinforce their newly learned skills and Hebrew vocabulary.  The students are extremely excited to use the special “noise cancelling” headphones, which helps them stay focused.

 “My library”  -  “ הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

This week’s book is called: “Shachar Bakita?” (?שחר בכיתה).

What happened to Shachar?  Is he in the classroom?

Please remind your child that he\she will get a “Dag”  (our fish reward) when he\she is returns the book with a signature.

Ariot:

This week Ariot went to Sydney’s home.

Hebrew workbook:

This week during the Alef Bet unit we almost finished part 3 of the workbook . We reviewed the name of the Aleph-Bet letters with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter “Ayin”. We focused on the meaning of “על” (on) and “

“ "על–יד (next to), We practiced writing sentences using these two important words.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find a picture page in your child’s folder with a summary of the story of Parashat :

לך לך (Lech Lecha). We learned about the beginning of Avraham’s joureys. We learned the story of how Avraham discovered there was one G-d and what happened when he started to teach everyone about it. Please encourage your child to tell you the stories he/she learned about this Parasha using the pictures on the sheets.

We met “Avraham Avinu”  ( Moreh Dror) who came to our Kabbalt  Shabbat and showed us the land of Israel.

Prayer:

This week we have finished reading the entire “An’im Zemirot”  and we are now practicing singing it together.

Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.

Dear Parents,

I am very proud to introduce Ariot. Ariot is the “Lion” from the Tal-Am program.

Every Friday one of the 1^st grade students will have the honor and pleasure to host Ariot for the weekend.

In the Ariot’s backpack you will find Ariot along with a binder.

Please take a picture of your child and Ariot together and help your child write about their experience spending time with Ariot during the weekend.

It can be in English, or English and Hebrew, or only Hebrew.

(I am sending also a Rubik's Cube to play with. Please make sure it is in Ariot’s backpack as long with Ariot and the binder).

Please send everything back to school by Monday.

Ariot:

This week Ariot went to Jonah’s home.

”Shalom kitah Alef”

We read the story:”Shalom kitah Alef”-

 in this story the kids were excited to discover the lion named Ariot!

“My library”-“ הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

Book of the week: ”Shalom kitah Alef”- Shalom from Kitah Alef

SHALOM BAKITA (Shalom in the Classroom):

This week we started the “Shalom 1- Shalom Bakita”  workbook from theTal-Am program.

The workbook deals with everyday life in the classroom from the beginning of the school year, and focuses on familiarization with the characters of a "virtual" classroom, the articles and the learning habits in the classroom. 

Shalom Bakita is further organized into 3 subtopics: 

(a) Who is in the class? 

(b) What is in the class? 

(C) How to study. 

These topics will accompany the students throughout the year, since they deal with the everyday life of the students.

Hebrew workbook:

This week during the Alef Bet unit we finished part 2 of the workbook . We reviewed the name of the Aleph-Bet letters  with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Lamed. We also focused on the final letters: “Kaf sofit”. We practiced writing words and we learned when to use a final letter.

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.

Prayer:

This week we started learning the beginning of “Baruch She’amar” prayer.

Parashat Hashavua-Parashat Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat:  נח. We learned that Noach was 10 generations after Adam and Havah.

Please look at the Hebrew words we learned in this Parasha as well. We know Ark= Tevah,  תיבה  flood=Mabool  מבול and rainbow is Keshet קשת.

Shabbat Shalom from Morah Irit Karavani.

Dear Parents,

This week we started the unit of Sukkot.

Your child will bring it home next week.

Calendar: We continued to develop and work on our Hebrew calendar skills.  We spent time locating Sukkot, Chol Hamoed and the last two days of Yom Tov on the calendar.

     4 species:

     We reviewed the names of the 4 species.

We compared each one of the 4 species. to our body parts:

Lulav= spine

Etrog= heart

Hadas= eye

Aravah= mouth

We also compared it to different kind of people by comparing the taste to people who learn Torah and smell to people who do Mitsvot (good deed).

Ushpizin:

We learned about the “7 ushpizin”. We learned their names and that every night we have one of the ushpizin coming to our sukkah as a guest.

You will find all of the 7 ushpizin names in one of your child’s decorations.

Decoration:

Your child is bringing a decoration to hang in the sukkah.

Please make sure to take it out from his/her backpack.

חג שמח    !

Happy Holiday!
