סוכות תשע"ח

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!
